Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne le domaine des équipements et installations électriques, et en particulier les interrupteurs et dispositifs de commutation utilisant des ampoules à vide fonctionnant à moyenne et haute tensions.The invention relates to the field of electrical equipment and installations, and in particular switches and switching devices using vacuum bulbs operating at medium and high voltages.
Une application particulière est celle pour le transport aérien de l'électricité.A particular application is that for the air transport of electricity.
Dans les installations et appareillages électriques, des interrupteurs utilisent des ampoules à vide qui doivent supporter des contraintes, entre autres, diélectriques entre les contacts situés à l'intérieur de l'ampoule, dans le vide, mais également entre les extrémités externes de l'ampoule disposée dans l'air ambiant. Dans le but d'homogénéiser la tenue diélectrique entre les contacts sous tension et les extrémités externes des interrupteurs à vide, la compacité exigée nécessite de recourir à des éléments isolants autres que l'air à l'extérieur même des ampoules à vide.In switchgear and switchgear, switches use vacuum interrupters that must withstand dielectric stresses, inter alia, between the contacts inside the bulb, in the vacuum, but also between the outer ends of the bulb. bulb placed in the ambient air. In order to homogenize the dielectric strength between the live contacts and the external ends of the vacuum interrupters, the compactness required requires the use of insulating elements other than the air outside the vacuum ampoules.
On pense en particulier aux isolants solides ou fluides diélectriques, tels que le gaz à effet de serre SF6. En effet, les isolations des ampoules à vide dans l'air ne permettent pas d'obtenir des performances diélectriques convenables avec des dimensions réduites.Solid insulators or dielectric fluids, such as the SF6 greenhouse gas, are particularly thought of. Indeed, the isolations of vacuum bulbs in the air do not make it possible to obtain suitable dielectric performance with reduced dimensions.
Toutefois, les isolations d'ampoules à vide dans un fluide gazeux diélectrique, telles que le SF6, sont coûteuses. En effet, il est nécessaire d'utiliser une cuve étanche équipée de traversées de courant et ces dispositions sont très défavorables à l'environnement, notamment vis-à-vis de la pollution, du recyclage et de l'effet de serre.However, isolations of vacuum bulbs in a dielectric gaseous fluid, such as SF6, are expensive. Indeed, it is necessary to use a sealed tank equipped with current feedthroughs and these provisions are very unfavorable to the environment, especially with respect to pollution, recycling and the greenhouse effect.
Les systèmes d'isolation solide d'ampoules à vide sont très sensibles en température et ne permettent pas un démontage ou un démantèlement en fin de vie, lors d'adhésion ou de collage. Ceci a donc des conséquences très néfastes pour l'environnement.The solid insulation systems of vacuum bulbs are very sensitive in temperature and do not allow disassembly or dismantling at the end of life, during adhesion or bonding. This has very harmful consequences for the environment.
Dans le but de diminuer cet impact sur l'environnement, il a été proposé d'utiliser un isolant mixte utilisant à la fois un isolant solide et un isolant fluide gazeux, tel que de l'air à pression atmosphérique ou d'autres gaz comme l'azote. Dans ce cas, l'isolant solide est d'un volume réduit, car il est réalisé sous la forme d'un joint ayant une fonction d'étanchéité au gaz et une fonction diélectrique. Toutefois, selon les réalisations connues de l'art antérieur, ce type d'isolation ne permet pas d'obtenir des performances diélectriques élevées pour les ampoules à vide.In order to reduce this impact on the environment, it has been proposed to use a mixed insulator using both a solid insulator and a gaseous fluid insulator, such as air at atmospheric pressure or other gases such as nitrogen. In this case, the solid insulation is of a reduced volume, because it is made in the form of a seal having a gas-tight function and a dielectric function. However, according to the known embodiments of the prior art, this type of insulation does not allow to obtain high dielectric performance for vacuum bulbs.

Le but de l'invention est donc d'obtenir des performances diélectriques importantes avec des dimensions réduites pour les ampoules à vide, en agissant sur leur isolement, notamment en empêchant le cheminement de décharges électriques ou étincelles le long des surfaces de contact du joint en service. Il est de plus souhaité de rester conforme à l'environnement. Un démantèlement complet et aisé du système d'isolation en fin de vie de l'ampoule à vide est donc souhaité. De plus, on se propose d'utiliser moins de matériau solide isolant. Ceci va dans le sens d'une réduction de coût, en comparaison avec un système avec isolation entièrement solide.The object of the invention is therefore to obtain significant dielectric performance with reduced dimensions for vacuum interrupters, by acting on their isolation, in particular by preventing the path of electric discharges or sparks along the contact surfaces of the gasket. service. It is furthermore desired to remain in conformity with the environment. Complete and easy dismantling of the insulation system at the end of life of the vacuum bulb is therefore desired. In addition, it is proposed to use less insulating solid material. This is in line with a cost reduction, compared to a system with fully solid insulation.

Le document
A cet effet, l'objet principal de l'invention est un joint d'isolation diélectrique pour ampoule à vide destiné à isoler une ampoule à vide par utilisation au moins un joint placé autour de l'ampoule à vide, à l'intérieur d'un boîtier, chaque joint ayant une surface de contact interne et une surface de contact externe, deux surfaces latérales reliant les surfaces de contact interne et externe.For this purpose, the main object of the invention is a dielectric insulation seal for vacuum interrupter for isolating a vacuum interrupter by using at least one seal placed around the vacuum interrupter inside the vacuum interrupter. a housing, each joint having an internal contact surface and a surface of external contact, two lateral surfaces connecting the internal and external contact surfaces.
Selon l'invention, les surfaces de contact interne et externe du joint sont lisses, ne présentent aucune cavité et font partie du groupe constitué des formes de surface comprenant les surfaces convexes par rapport à l'axe longitudinal du joint et les surfaces présentant une pente qui ne s'inverse pas, par rapport à l'axe longitudinal du joint. Ainsi, on n'emprisonne aucune poche de gaz, lors du montage du joint, dans les interfaces, d'une part entre la surface de contact interne du boîtier et la surface du contact externe du joint et d'autre part entre la surface externe de l'ampoule à vide et la surface de contact interne du joint, afin de supprimer tout risque d'apparition de décharge électrique partielle entre, d'une part la surface de contact interne du boîtier et la surface de contact externe du joint et d'autre part entre la surface externe de l'ampoule à vide et la surface de contact interne du joint.According to the invention, the internal and external contact surfaces of the joint are smooth, have no cavities and are part of the group consisting of surface forms comprising the convex surfaces with respect to the longitudinal axis of the joint and the surfaces having a slope. which does not reverse, with respect to the longitudinal axis of the joint. Thus, no gas pocket is imprisoned during the assembly of the gasket, in the interfaces, on the one hand between the internal contact surface of the housing and the surface of the external contact of the gasket and, on the other hand, between the external surface. of the vacuum interrupter and the internal contact surface of the seal, in order to eliminate any risk of occurrence of partial electrical discharge between, on the one hand the internal contact surface of the housing and the outer contact surface of the seal and on the other hand between the external surface of the vacuum bottle and the internal contact surface of the seal.
Cette résistance au cheminement est caractérisée par l'aptitude du joint à épouser parfaitement la surface externe de l'ampoule à vide ou la face interne de l'enveloppe pour s'opposer à la formation d'étincelles électriques qui carboniseraient la surface du jont et/ou la surface externe de l'ampoule à vide ou la face interne de l'enveloppe, et fourniraient ainsi un trajet au courant.This resistance to tracking is characterized by the ability of the seal to perfectly match the outer surface of the vacuum bottle or the inner face of the envelope to oppose the formation of electric sparks that would carbonize the surface of the jont and or the outer surface of the vacuum bulb or the inner face of the envelope, and thus provide a path to the current.
Une réalisation principale prévoit que ces surfaces interne et externe de contact du joint soient cylindriques.A main embodiment provides that these inner and outer surfaces of the seal contact are cylindrical.
Une deuxième réalisation principale prévoit que ces surfaces interne et externe de contact du joint soient coniques.A second main embodiment provides that these inner and outer surfaces of the seal contact are tapered.
Une troisième réalisation principale des surfaces interne et externe de contact du joint est que celle-ci soient chacune constituée de deux parties coniques, de conicité différente et reliée par un rayon de raccordement déterminé et formant un V évasé.A third main embodiment of the inner and outer surfaces of the seal contact is that they are each constituted by two conical parts of different conicity and connected by a determined connection radius and forming a flared V.
Dans ces deux dernières réalisations, on note qu'il est préférable que l'orientation générale de ces surfaces interne et externe soient coniques et de conicité inversée l'une par rapport à l'autre.In these last two embodiments, it is noted that it is preferable for the general orientation of these inner and outer surfaces to be conical and of inverted conicity with respect to each other.
Concernant la réalisation générale du joint, il est également préférable que la largeur des surfaces de contact interne et externe soit égale ou supérieure à 5 mm afin de limiter les risques d'amorçages ou de cheminements au niveau de ces interfaces.As regards the general construction of the joint, it is also preferable for the width of the internal and external contact surfaces to be equal to or greater than 5 mm in order to limit the risks of starting or routing at these interfaces.
Il s'avère également très intéressant que l'épaisseur minimale du joint suivant l'axe longitudinale du joint soit de au moins 4 mm. Ces deux mesures permettent d'augmenter considérablement la tenue diélectrique du joint.It is also very interesting that the minimum thickness of the joint along the longitudinal axis of the joint is at least 4 mm. These two measurements make it possible to considerably increase the dielectric strength of the seal.
Dans différentes réalisations prévues, le joint possède un évidement dans sa section transversale, pour limiter les efforts dans le joint.In various embodiments provided, the seal has a recess in its cross section, to limit the forces in the joint.
En ce qui concerne les surfaces latérales, afin de maitriser les dilatations thermiques, il est également prévu que ces surfaces latérales puissent être en deux parties ayant des inclinaisons différentes.With regard to the lateral surfaces, in order to control the thermal expansions, it is also provided that these side surfaces can be in two parts having different inclinations.
On prévoit également qu'au moins une de ces surfaces latérales soit arrondie, l'autre étant droite.It is also expected that at least one of these lateral surfaces is rounded, the other being straight.
Il est également prévu que les surfaces latérales soient arrondies en partie, une partie étant concave, une partie étant convexe.It is also expected that the side surfaces are rounded in part, a portion being concave, a portion being convex.
On prévoit également que le joint puisse avoir une section trapézoïdale, c'est-à-dire deux surfaces de contact externe et interne parallèles à l'axe de révolution du joint, les surfaces latérales étant inclinées de façon inversée.It is also expected that the seal may have a trapezoidal section, that is to say two external and internal contact surfaces parallel to the axis of revolution of the seal, the side surfaces being inclined in an inverted manner.
La section transversale du joint peut être en forme de H.The cross section of the joint can be H-shaped.
La section transversale du joint peut également être en forme de N.The cross section of the seal may also be N-shaped.
Elle peut aussi être en forme de M.She can also be in the shape of M.
Elle peut également de forme carrée ou rectangulaire.It can also square or rectangular shape.
Dans le cas où la section transversale du joint possède un évidement, elle peut être de forme en W ou en U.In the case where the cross section of the seal has a recess, it may be W-shaped or U-shaped.

A cet effet, on constate que dans la réalisation décrite sur la
Une particularité technique très importante du joint selon l'invention est que la surface externe périphérique ainsi que la surface interne périphérique de chaque joint 20 sont lisses. En effet, on utilise un boîtier 10 dont la surface interne 16 est lisse, de même, l'ampoule à vide 1 possède une surface externe 6 lisse. En correspondance, les surfaces interne et externe de chaque joint 20 sont lisses. On évite ainsi d'emprisonner de l'air entre ces surfaces au moment du montage. La forme générale du joint est optimisée, afin d'obtenir des pressions de contact aux interfaces joints/boîtier et joint/ampoule à vide non homogènes, mais suffisantes. Les contraintes de serrage du joint autour de l'ampoule à vide 1 sont supérieures à celles régnant au niveau du serrage du joint contre le boîtier 10. Ceci permet au joint de rester en place sur l'ampoule à vide lors du montage, du démontage et du démantèlement.A very important technical feature of the seal according to the invention is that the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of each

La surface externe de contact qui est donc lisse est constituée en fait de deux surfaces 31A et 31B, toutes deux coniques par rapport à l'axe 30 du joint, leur inclinaison étant différente, de façon à former un U très ouvert vers l'extérieur. Leur jonction est constituée d'un rayon de raccordement externe RE. De façon analogue, la surface interne de contact est constituée de deux parties 32A et 32B, toutes deux d'inclinaison différente, par rapport à l'axe 30, l'une d'entre elles, en l'occurrence la surface 32A pouvant être cylindrique. Ces deux surfaces de contact internes sont également reliées par un rayon de raccordement interne RI. Ces rayons de raccordement RE et RI contribuent à éviter d'emprisonner de l'air, lors du montage du joint. Si les joints 20 ont été représentés montés autour de l'ampoule à vide 1 et dans le bottier 10 avec des surfaces de contact lisses, il faut souligner que ces surfaces de contact externes et internes sont lisses, lorsque les joints ne sont pas montés.The outer surface of contact which is therefore smooth consists in fact of two
Dans cette réalisation, les deux surfaces latérales sont également constituées de plusieurs parties. L'une d'elle comprend un évidement 35 constitué par deux surfaces tronconiques 35A jointes par une surface radiale 35B. Cet évidement 35 permet de limiter les efforts au sein du joint, lorsque celui-ci est comprimé, lors de la phase d'assemblage de l'ampoule à vide dans le boîtier.In this embodiment, the two lateral surfaces also consist of several parts. One of them comprises a
De même, l'autre surface latérale est constituée de deux surfaces 33A et 33B, elles-mêmes tronconiques, d'inclinaison différente de façon à former un U très ouvert. Le reste des surfaces latérales est constitué de parties radiales 34C, d'une part, et 34A et 34B qui joignent l'évidement 35 aux surfaces de contact interne, d'autre part.Similarly, the other side surface consists of two
Cette forme de réalisation s'apparente à un U dont une des parties verticales se prolonge légèrement vers le bas. D'autres sections possibles du joint, notamment en forme de lettre, sont énoncées plus loin.This embodiment is similar to a U of which one of the vertical parts extends slightly downwards. Other possible sections of the seal, particularly in the form of a letter, are set out below.
Quelle que soit la forme envisagée, l'épaisseur selon la direction parallèle à celle de l'axe 30 du joint doit être égale ou supérieure à 4 (quatre) millimètres. La tenue mécanique s'en trouve évidemment renforcée, mais c'est surtout la tenue diélectrique du joint qui s'en trouve augmentée, notamment en limitant fortement les risques d'amorçage par perforation du joint.Whatever the form envisaged, the thickness in the direction parallel to that of the
De même, si les surfaces de contact internes 32A et 32B et externes ont une hauteur axiale suffisamment importante, constituant des surfaces d'appui importantes et non pas ponctuelles, elles contribuent surtout à augmenter la tenue diélectrique du joint. Une hauteur axiale est de au moins 5 (cinq) millimètres est ainsi requise. On note d'ailleurs que les champs électriques au niveau de l'interface constitué par les surfaces de contact internes 32A et 32B et la surface externe de l'ampoule à vide sont supérieurs à ceux régnant au niveau de l'interface constitué par les surfaces de contact externes 31A et 31B et la surface interne du boîtier. La largeur des surfaces de contact internes 31A et 31B est donc supérieure à celle des surfaces de contact externes 32A et 32B. A valeur égale de pression de serrage, lors des montages, démontages et démantèlements, cela permet au joint de rester en place sur l'ampoule à vide.Similarly, if the
Le joint est un matériau élastomère. Lors de son montage, sa déformation permet d'obtenir des pressions de contact suffisantes aux niveau de ses surfaces de contact interne 32A et 32B et au niveau de ses surfaces de contact externe 31A et 31B. Le système est peu sensible en température. En effet, de part la forme de ses surfaces latérales, le joint est libre de se dilater lors des élévations de température et de se contracter lors des diminutions de température.The seal is an elastomeric material. During its assembly, its deformation makes it possible to obtain sufficient contact pressures at its
En effet, le rapport des surfaces en pression, c'est-à-dire les surfaces de contact internes 32A et 32B et externes 31A et 31B, sur les surfaces libres, c'est-à-dire les surfaces latérales 33A, 33B, 34A, 34B, 35A et 35B est suffisamment restreint, pour que la matière élastomère constituant les joints puisse se dilater et se contracter librement en température. Ceci permet de limiter considérablement les contraintes thermomécaniques au sein du joint. Ces contraintes thermomécaniques peuvent, selon le rapport des surfaces chargées sur les surfaces libres, détériorer les systèmes.Indeed, the ratio of the pressure surfaces, that is to say the
Un tel joint a été qualifié sur une application de tension nominale de 38kV. Il a la capacité de tenir les tensions normalisées CEI et ANSI : Tension de tenue à fréquence 50Hz/60s/95kVeff, tension de choc de foudre 200kVc avec des décharges partielles inférieure ou égale à 5pC. Il résiste à des températures de -40°C à +115°C de manière continue.Such a seal has been qualified on a nominal voltage application of 38kV. It has the capacity to hold IEC and ANSI standard voltages: 50Hz / 60s / 95kVeff withstand voltage, 200kVc lightning shock voltage with partial discharges less than or equal to 5pC. It withstands temperatures from -40 ° C to + 115 ° C continuously.

Les performances diélectriques d'un appareillage équipé de tels joints sont relativement importantes pour un caractère assez compact de l'appareillage.The dielectric performances of an apparatus equipped with such seals are relatively important for a rather compact character of the apparatus.
La tenue diélectrique est importante aux interfaces de contact entre le joint et le boîtier et le joint et l'ampoule à vide.The dielectric strength is important at the contact interfaces between the seal and the housing and the seal and the vacuum bulb.
De même, à l'intérieur du joint, la tenue diélectrique est importante.Similarly, inside the seal, the dielectric strength is important.
Cette résistance au cheminement se caractérise par l'aptitude du joint à épouser parfaitement la surface externe de l'ampoule à vide ou la face interne de l'enveloppe pour s'opposer à la formation d'étincelles électriques qui carboniseraient la surface du joint et/ou la surface externe de l'ampoule à vide entre A et A' et/ou la face interne de l'enveloppe entre B et B' (
Le démantèlement de l'appareillage en fin de vie est assez aisé et les quantités de matières isolantes sont réduites, ce qui est conforme aux normes de l'environnement.The dismantling of the equipment at the end of its life is quite easy and the quantities of insulating materials are reduced, which is in accordance with the standards of the environment.
Cette solution est d'un coût relativement restreint, facilement industrialisable, grâce au moulage en série à haute cadence et un assemblage sans collage.This solution is relatively low cost, easily industrialized, thanks to the high speed series molding and assembly without bonding.
L'ensemble est peu sensible aux variations de températures, les joints étant libres de se dilater ou de se contracter.The assembly is not very sensitive to temperature variations, the joints being free to expand or contract.
La mise en place est aisée, compte tenu du fait que le joint est facilement déformable.The setting up is easy, considering that the seal is easily deformable.
Enfin, le système est démontable.Finally, the system is removable.
