Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrical switchgear housed in an insulating housing and comprising a contact support supporting at least one movable contact, the or each movable contact being disposed facing at least one fixed contact belonging to said apparatus, said support being rotatably mounted between an open position for which the movable contact (s) is (are) remote from the fixed contact (s) and a closed position for which the (s) movable contact (s) is (are) in contact with the fixed contact (s).
  • Patents are known US 5794763 , FR 2717617 and EP 0773566 describing devices having the features previously mentioned.
  • the movable contacts are mounted in a contact-carrying shaft and a spring is placed between the contact (s) and said shaft, so that said spring maintains the contact in its housing thus ensuring the pressure contact between the movable contact and the fixed contact.
  • the dispersion of the position of the contacts is much too important. This reduces the performance of devices including differential switches. Games necessary for mounting, positioning, and mobility of the contacts relative to the contact shaft do not allow precise positioning.
  • the pivot connection is made on the edge of the movable contact which can cause pollution and cause discontinuity defects.
  • the present invention solves these problems and proposes an electrical switching device in which the closing and opening performance of the contacts are improved and reproducible, hence a better reproducibility of the performance of the devices.
  • the subject of the present invention is an electrical switching device according to claim 1.
  • the aforementioned means for providing the contact pressure comprise, for each second contact support, a spring interposed between the housing and said second support.
  • the aforementioned means for providing the contact pressure comprise, for each second said contact support, a spring interposed between said first support and said second support.
  • each movable contact is mounted in a separate said second support, each second separate support being rotatably mounted relative to the said first support in which it is mounted.
  • the first said contact support is a rotary shaft.
  • the or each second said contact support comprises a housing for receiving a movable contact, and means for clipping the movable contact inside the second support.
  • the or each movable contact is constituted by a flat copper blade.
  • this device comprises locking means (s) support (s) said second (s) in the said first contact carrier, said means being activated during the insertion of one (respectively) mobile contact (s) in the contact medium said second correspondent.
  • the axis of articulation of the first support relative to the housing of the apparatus is separated from the axis of articulation of the second support (s) with respect to the first support the movable contact (s) slide (s) on the contact (s) fixed (s) docking.
  • the or each second contact support each comprises a partition intended to mask the part of the moving contact which is opposite the fixed contact area.
  • this partition is fixed only on one side of the second support so as to allow the introduction of the contact and its clipping in the second support by bending said support.
  • this partition is removable.
  • the or each support said second comprises two flanges mechanically connected to at least one of their ends, the two flanges being adapted to be brought closer to one another by elastic deformation of the support.
  • the mechanical connection between the two flanges is carried out in such a way that the dismounting of the said second contact support (s) with respect to the said first contact support requires the bringing together of the two flanges, said approximation being prevented when a movable contact is introduced into said second contact carrier resulting in a locking of the second support relative to the first.
  • the (the) contact support (s) said second (s) envelop the (the) contact (s) mobile (s) so as to increase the creepage between the moving contacts.
  • this apparatus is a differential switch.
  • the present invention also relates to a contact-carrier shaft rotatably mounted in an electrical switching device comprising at least one support (said first) and at least one support (said second) mounted articulated relative to said (to said) first (s) ) support (s) around respectively at least one axis of articulation, said (s) support (s) said (s) second (s) being intended (s) to support at least one movable contact, said (said) movable contact (s) being (are) intended to cooperate with respectively at least one fixed contact belonging to said electrical breaking device, said contact carrier being characterized in that it comprises means for locking the (the) support (s) contact (s) said (s) second (s) in said first contact carrier, said means being activated during the insertion of a (respectively) contact (s) mobile (s) in (s) contact support (s) said second (s).
  • This electrical apparatus A comprises in a known way, in a housing B, a support 4,5 of movable contacts, rotatably mounted in the housing B, the movable contacts 2 being mounted facing at least one fixed contact 3.
  • This support movable contacts is rotatably mounted between a position of opening of the contacts in which the movable contacts 2 are separated from the fixed contacts 3 and a closed position in which the movable contacts 2 are applied to the fixed contacts 3.
  • This movable contact support comprises a first support 4 rotatably mounted relative to the housing B of the apparatus and several so-called second supports 5 mounted (s) rotatable (s) relative to the first 4 and intended (s) to support the movable contacts 2.
  • This first support 4 is formed in this particular embodiment, by a shaft rotatably mounted relative to the housing of the apparatus. This shaft comprises housings 6 intended to receive the so-called second contact supports 5 in which the movable contacts 2 are mounted.
  • housings 6 are delimited each by two lateral walls 7, 8 of the contact-carrying shaft 4, each lateral wall. 7,8 having a hinge pin 9,10, the two pivots 9,10 forming a hinge axis for the contact support 5.
  • a contact pressure spring 15 is interposed between the said first contact support, that is to say the shaft 4, and each of said second contact supports 5.
  • the hinge axis of the first support 4 is separated from the hinge axis Y of the second supports 5 so that the movable contacts slide on the fixed contacts at the docking.
  • Each second said contact support 5 comprises two flanges 11, 12 mechanically connected to their lower and upper parts and forming between the two flanges a housing 13 intended to receive a movable contact 2 in the form of a contact blade 14.
  • This second said support 5 also comprises clipping means (not shown) of the blade 14 inside said second support 5.
  • the two aforementioned flanges 11,12 of each second support 5 have on their outer faces two orifices 16,17 intended to receive respectively the two aforementioned articulation pivots 9,10 of the corresponding housing 6 of the shaft 4, during assembly of the contact support 5 in the so-called first contact support 4.
  • the removal of the pivots 9,10 of the openings 16,17 provided in the flanges 11,12 requires the pinching of the so-called second supports 5 so as to bring the two flanges 11,12 closer to each other.
  • the second contact supports 5 also comprise a partition 18 intended to mask the part of the moving contact 2 which is opposite the fixed contact area 3, this partition 18 being fixed only on one side of the second support 5 so as to to allow the introduction of the contact and its clipping in the second support 5 by bending said support.
  • FIG. 3 it will be noted that figures 3 , 4 and 5 , according to another embodiment, an opening has been made in one of the two flanges of the contact support, this opening making it possible to add flexibility to the assembly so as to avoid the breaking of the contact support said second 5 to moment of assembly.
  • each movable contact 2 is positioned with less dispersion than in the prior art.
  • the joint eliminates dispersions due to the shapes of the contacts and the shaft, which resulted in inaccurate positioning of the contacts.
  • the contacts are positioned now always in the same way. Wear of the contact carrier shaft is minimized. All the phase contacts of the contact-holder shaft accost the fixed contacts at the same time. All phase contacts of the contact carrier shaft leave the fixed contacts at the same time. Closing and opening performance is improved and reproducible. Given that the axis of the contact carrier is eccentric with respect to the axis of the contact-carrier shaft, the movable contacts slide on the fixed contacts at the docking, this sliding producing a self-cleaning effect.
  • the contact supports surround the contacts to isolate and increase the creepage distances, the insulation is increased between the contacts and with respect to the front face. It is thus not necessary to add partitions on the contact-holder shaft or to increase the distance between the contacts. Given that the contact pressure spring bears on the contact support, the contact pressure spring is not energized and it is therefore not necessary to provide an additional insulation wall.
  • the isolation distance between the contacts is not reduced by the approximation between the part of the moving contact which is opposite the fixed contact range and the fixed contact.
  • the invention is advantageously applicable to unipolar or multipole switches as well as to differential switches.
  • the movable contacts are mounted articulated each in a separate support.
