Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for controlling the placing in contact or out of contact of two parts, at least one of which is movable relative to the other, comprising an operating shaft connected in an articulated manner relative to a frame, said shaft being adapted to be rotated between a first position corresponding to a contact position of the two parts and a second position corresponding to a so-called distance position of the two parts, a compression spring adapted to be compressed by said shaft and to act during its decompression on the moving part so as to bring said movable part in a position of contact with the fixed part and means for separating the two parts able to bring the two aforementioned parts in the aforementioned removal position, said spring cooperating by one said one of its ends, with the operating shaft by its opposite end said second, with the piece mo bile.
  • This device ensuring the control of a sectioning or a grounding.
  • This device comprises an operating shaft rotatably mounted relative to a frame and hingedly connected to one end of a spring system whose opposite end is hingedly connected to an output shaft connected in an articulated manner. auditing and controlling the movement of the moving part.
  • the ground is effected by a rotation of the actuating shaft causing compression of the spring until a dead point.
  • the operating shaft continues its rotation by a few degrees by releasing a hooking roller via a connecting rod.
  • the roller thus released, the output shaft rotates under the action of the spring, and causes the cutting of the contacts.
  • the latter drives the latching roller to bring it into contact with a stop.
  • the opening to the ground is performed by the reverse rotation of the operating shaft.
  • the connecting rod then drives the roller, which in turn drives the output shaft.
  • the present invention relates to a device for controlling the contacting and the putting out of contact of two parts relative to each other, of simple design, which allows the two parts to come into contact with a speed independent of each other. the operator and to ensure a significant contact pressure.
  • the subject of the present invention is a device for controlling the placing in contact or out of contact of two parts of the kind mentioned above, this device being characterized in that it comprises return means for returning the exerted force by the first end of the spring during its decompression, on the moving part, so that said movable part receives two forces exerted respectively by the two ends of the spring, the resultant of the two forces corresponding to these two forces to ensure a clamping important between the two parts mentioned above.
  • these return means comprise a driving rod connected in an articulated manner by one of its ends, said first, to the operating shaft, and by its opposite end said second, to the moving part.
  • the maneuvering shaft comprises two ends disposed on either side of its axis of articulation to the frame, the spring is connected in an articulated manner by its so-called first end, on the one so-called second ends of the operating shaft, and its so-called second end, is hingedly connected to the moving part.
  • the distance separating, on the one hand, the axis of articulation of the operating shaft from the frame, and, on the other hand, the axis of articulation of the connecting rod to the operating shaft corresponds substantially to the distance separating the axis of articulation of the shaft from the housing and the axis of articulation of the first end of the spring to said shaft.
  • the operating shaft, the connecting rod and the spring are dimensioned in such a way that the evolution of the lever arms during the placing in contact of the fixed and moving parts makes it possible to compensate for the decrease in the effort the spring during its elongation, so that a constant force is applied to the movable contact.
  • the aforementioned device can take three stable positions, namely a closed equilibrium position in which the parts are in contact and the spring in partially decompressed position, an open equilibrium position in which the parts are separated and the spring in a fully compressed position and a neutral position in which the parts are separated and the three axes of articulation respectively of the connecting rod on the operating shaft, the spring on the operating shaft, and the spring on the movable contact, are aligned in which position the direction of the forces transmitted by the spring is such that no torque is applied to the operating shaft and position beyond which the spring becomes motor and causes the operating shaft and the movable contact.
  • the operating shaft comprises a stop adapted to cooperate with the connecting rod to limit the rotational travel of the operating shaft beyond the neutral position of the passage position, after an opening maneuver.
  • the present invention also relates to an electrical protection apparatus comprising a fixed contact and a movable contact, the movable contact being controlled by a control device having the aforementioned characteristics taken alone or in combination.
  • the movable contact is a ground contact.
  • it is an earthing switch having a closing power.
  • a control device O of the contacts of an earthing switch comprises an operating shaft 1 connected in an articulated manner along an axis X to a frame 2.
  • This operating shaft is also connected in an articulated manner (Y) by one of its ends, at one end 3a of the ends of a drive rod 3, and its opposite end 1b (Z), to a compression spring 4.
  • This rod of drive 3 and the compression spring 4 are connected to each other in a manner articulated by their other end 3b, 4b, to a connecting axis U, this connecting axis U being connected in an articulated manner on the one hand, to a movable contact 6, and on the other hand, to a connected connecting rod 7 also articulated to the frame.
  • the fixed contact 5 is rigidly connected to the frame to withstand the efforts of maintaining in the closed position the two contacts 5,6.
  • This device has two stable equilibrium positions and an unstable equilibrium position.
  • the first stable equilibrium position is the open position represented on the figure 1 . In this position, the driving rod 3 is in abutment on an opening stop 8 secured to the operating shaft 1.
  • the second stable equilibrium position is the closed position represented on the figure 3 . In this position, the moving contact is in abutment on the fixed contact.
  • the unstable equilibrium position represented on the figure 2 is that in which the three axes of articulation respectively, the Y axis of articulation of the connecting rod 3 on the shaft 1, the axis Z of articulation of the shaft 1 to the spring 4 and the axis U of articulation of the connecting rod 3 on the movable contact 6, are aligned.
  • this position called the neutral passage
  • the direction of the force transmitted by the spring is such that no torque is applied to the operating shaft.
  • the assembly can therefore switch either to the open position or to the closed position.
  • the mechanism operates autonomously under the action of the compression spring as will be explained in the following.
  • the operating shaft is subjected to a torque exerted by two forces, which forces vary according to the length of the spring and according to the evolution of the lever arms D1 ', D2' ( figure 4 ).
  • the first force, called F1 is exerted directly by the lower end of the spring 4b and is retransmitted to the operating shaft 1 via the driving rod 3.
  • the second force named F2 is the result of the force transmitted to the actuating shaft 1 by the upper end 4a of the spring 4.
  • This second force F2 is retransmitted along F3 to the movable contact 6 via the two lever arms D1 and D2.
  • the resultant R of the forces applied to the moving contact is therefore about twice the force provided by the first end 4a of the spring 4.
  • the value of this effort resultant R varies very little regardless of the position of the fixed contact 5 during the last two thirds of the race as illustrated in FIG. figure 5 .
  • the variation of the lever arms D1 'and D2' makes it possible to compensate for the drop in the force of the spring during its elongation. The lower the F1 and F2 forces, the more the effort F3 increases.
  • a control device has thus been produced according to the invention making it possible to bring the mobile contact against the fixed contact with a speed independent of the operator.
  • this device ensures, thanks to the compression spring, a significant contact pressure to allow the flow of current.
  • the system is maintained open position by contacting the drive rod on a workpiece forming a stop of the operating shaft under the action of the compression spring.
  • the use of the force of both ends of the spring allows the use of a lower force spring (about half the contact force to obtain).
  • the evolution of the lever arms during the closure of the contacts to compensate for the decrease in the spring force on the last two thirds of the race, it follows a retransmitted effort on the contacts that remains constant on a large race.
  • This principle is well suited for driving contacts when significant end-of-travel forces are required (eg end-to-end contacts), see all contacts that require overtravel to compensate for wear, matting, etc. It is applicable to all electrical functions without breaking capacity, especially of the disconnector type.
  • This principle can be used to simply apply a holding force (ex: clamping), clamping several parts together. It is also well suited for all earthing switch functions with breaking capacity. For other applications, it can be coupled to a shaft to transform the linear output movement into a rotational movement. It can also be associated with a cam system to adapt the efforts transmitted to specific needs. It can also be used, with the disengagement of the operating shaft and the drive rod, for all switch functions, or even circuit breakers with the attachment setting for tripping.
