Description

La présente invention concerne un appareil de coupure électrique logé dans un boîtier, ledit appareil comportant des contacts fixes, des contacts mobiles supportés par un arbre porte-contacts, un mécanisme d'ouverture et/ou de fermeture des contacts et au moins une chambre de coupure.The present invention relates to an electrical switching device housed in a housing, said apparatus comprising fixed contacts, movable contacts supported by a contact-carrying shaft, a mechanism for opening and / or closing the contacts and at least one chamber for cut.

Actuellement, les interrupteurs différentiels comportent un socle et un couvercle. Sur ce socle sont fixés un arbre supportant les contacts mobiles, des contacts fixes, un mécanisme d'ouverture et de fermeture des contacts, des plages de bornes et des bornes. Un tore et des fils primaires sont généralement logés dans le socle sans être fixé. Les fils primaires (ou de puissance) sont des fils souples ou bien des fils rigides. Ils sont soudés, d'un côté, aux contacts fixes ou bien aux tresses des contacts mobiles et de l'autre côté, aux plages des bornes amont ou aval. Habituellement, cet interrupteur comporte également des chambres de coupure réalisées à l'intérieur du socle.
Il existe également des interrupteurs différentiels comportant un élément de boîtier intercalaire disposé entre le socle et le couvercle, cet élément de boîtier intercalaire servant à supporter l'arbre porte-contact et le tore, ou bien comportant un support interne particulier pour l'arbre porte-contact et le tore.
L'un des inconvénients commun à toutes ces architectures, tient en ce que les chambres de coupure entières ou en partie appartiennent au socle ou bien à un élément intercalaire du boîtier.
Ainsi, le choix de la matière est un compromis entre les besoins techniques et esthétiques du socle (ou de l'intercalaire) et les besoins de performances de la chambre de coupure.
Et toutes les variantes du socle (fonctions, bornes, aspects, formes, moyens de fixation...) nécessitent la redéfinition complète de l'appareil (cotations) et des moules (cotations, moulabilité du socle) pour préserver les performances de coupure.Currently, the differential switches comprise a base and a cover. On this base are fixed a shaft supporting the movable contacts, fixed contacts, a mechanism for opening and closing the contacts, terminal ranges and terminals. A torus and primary wires are generally housed in the base without being fixed. Primary (or power) wires are flexible wires or rigid wires. They are welded, on one side, to the fixed contacts or to the braids of the moving contacts and on the other side to the ranges of the upstream or downstream terminals. Usually, this switch also has breaking chambers made inside the base.
There are also differential switches comprising an intermediate casing element disposed between the base and the cover, this intermediate casing element serving to support the contact-bearing shaft and the torus, or having a particular internal support for the door shaft. -contact and the torus.
One of the disadvantages common to all these architectures, is that the whole or part of the break rooms belong to the base or to an intermediate element of the housing.
Thus, the choice of the material is a compromise between the technical and aesthetic needs of the base (or interlayer) and the performance requirements of the breaking chamber.
And all the variants of the base (functions, terminals, aspects, forms, means of fixing ...) require the complete redefinition of the apparatus (quotations) and molds (quotations, moldability of the base) to preserve the performances of cutoff.

On connaît par exemple les brevets EP 1117115 et EP 530392 décrivant des interrupteurs différentiels dans lesquels les chambres de coupure sont intégrées au socle.For example, patents are known EP 1117115 and EP 530392 describing differential switches in which the breaking chambers are integrated in the base.

On connaît également le brevet FR 2475291 dans lequel l'interrupteur différentiel qui y est décrit comporte un socle, un élément de boîtier intercalaire et un couvercle.
Dans ce document, le boîtier intercalaire prend appui sur les faces externes du socle. Le couvercle prend appui sur le boîtier intercalaire. Ce boîtier intercalaire supporte les chambres de coupure, un coulisseau porte-contact, les contacts fixes, le mécanisme, les bornes, les plages des bornes, le tore, les fils de puissance.
Le choix de la matière du boîtier intercalaire n'est pas libre. Il influence l'aspect externe de l'interrupteur. Il est dépendant des forces exercées par les bornes sur l'enveloppe et est dépendant des performances de coupure. En outre, la chambre de coupure doit être fermée par un couvercle, d'où un problème d'étanchéité.The patent is also known FR 2475291 wherein the differential switch described therein comprises a pedestal, a spacer housing member and a cover.
In this document, the intermediate housing is supported on the outer faces of the base. The cover is supported on the intermediate housing. This intermediate housing supports the breaking chambers, a contact-contact slider, the fixed contacts, the mechanism, the terminals, the terminal ranges, the toroid, the power wires.
The choice of the material of the intermediate housing is not free. It influences the external appearance of the switch. It is dependent on the forces exerted by the terminals on the envelope and is dependent on the breaking performance. In addition, the cutting chamber must be closed by a cover, resulting in a sealing problem.

La présente invention résout ces problèmes et propose un appareil de coupure électrique qui permette de ne pas être contraint pour le choix de la matière de la chambre de coupure par des compromis liés à d'autres fonctions, qui permet de rendre évolutif les fonctions internes sans changer le socle ou le couvercle, de rendre évolutif le socle et le couvercle sans changer les fonctions internes, de ne plus être gêné par le socle pour assembler les composants internes, de ne pas polluer l'intérieur du socle ou des chambres de coupure lors de la soudure des connexions internes et de rendre flexible la configuration des fonctions sans changer les fonctions internes ou de faire de la différentiation retardée.The present invention solves these problems and proposes an electrical switching device which makes it possible not to be constrained for the choice of the material of the interrupting chamber by compromises related to other functions, which makes it possible to make the internal functions evolve without change the base or cover, make the pedestal and the cover evolutionary without changing the internal functions, no longer be bothered by the base to assemble the internal components, not to pollute the interior of the base or the break chambers when weld internal connections and make the configuration of the functions flexible without changing the internal functions or make the differentiation delayed.

A cet effet, la présente invention a pour objet un appareil de coupure électrique du genre précédemment mentionné, ledit appareil comportant des contacts fixes, des contacts mobiles supportés par un arbre porte-contacts, un mécanisme d'ouverture et/ou de fermeture des contacts et au moins une chambre de coupure, ce dispositif étant caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte un module de coupure monobloc et amovible comportant au moins une chambre de coupure, ledit module supportant l'arbre porte-contacts mobiles de telle manière que ledit arbre ferme lesdites chambres.For this purpose, the subject of the present invention is an electrical breaking device of the kind mentioned above, said apparatus comprising fixed contacts, movable contacts supported by a contact-carrying shaft, a mechanism for opening and / or closing the contacts. and at least one interrupting chamber, this device being characterized in that it comprises a one-piece and removable cutting module comprising at least one breaking chamber, said module supporting the movable contact-holder shaft such that said shaft closes said rooms.

Mais d'autres avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention apparaîtront mieux dans la description détaillée qui suit et se réfère aux dessins annexés donnés uniquement à titre d'exemple et dans lesquels :

But other advantages and features of the invention will become more apparent in the detailed description which follows and refers to the accompanying drawings given solely by way of example and in which:
  • The figure 1 is a perspective view of an electrical breaking device according to the invention,
  • The figure 2 is a perspective view of the cutoff device of the figure 1 , the cut-off module having been removed from the base of the apparatus,
  • The figure 3 is an exploded perspective view illustrating firstly a mechanism for opening / closing the contacts, secondly an assembly comprising upstream and downstream terminals and a contact-carrying shaft, thirdly a breaking chamber according to the invention and fourthly a base, and
  • The figure 4 is a perspective view illustrating the cutting module equipped with its shaft and its mechanism before mounting in the base.

Sur les figures a été représenté un interrupteur différentiel D logé dans un boîtier comportant un socle 1 et un couvercle (non représenté), ledit boîtier renfermant de manière connue en soi, un arbre 2 de support des contacts mobiles 3 de l'appareil, des contacts fixes 4, des bornes amont et aval 5 et 6, un mécanisme 7 d'ouverture/fermeture ou d'actionnement de l'arbre, un tore 8, des conducteurs primaires 9, des ressorts de pression de contact 10 et des ressorts 11 d'ouverture des contacts.In the figures there is shown a differential switch D housed in a housing comprising a base 1 and a cover (not shown), said housing containing, in a manner known per se, a shaft 2 for supporting the movable contacts 3 of the apparatus, fixed contacts 4, upstream and downstream terminals 5 and 6, a mechanism 7 for opening / closing or actuating the shaft, a torus 8, primary conductors 9, contact pressure springs 10 and springs 11 opening of contacts.

Le socle 1 comporte des logements 12 destinés à recevoir les bornes amont et avals 5 et 6 de l'appareil. Selon l'invention, l'appareil comporte un module de coupure amovible et monobloc 13 comportant plusieurs chambres de coupure 14,15,16 et 17 s'étendant parallèlement les unes par rapport aux autres. Dans cette réalisation, le nombre de chambres de coupure est de quatre.
Ce module de coupure 13 est destiné à supporter un ensemble comportant l'arbre 2 dit porte-contacts mobiles 3, lesdits contacts mobiles étant reliés au moyen d'une tresse 18 à la plage de contact correspondante 19 de la borne aval 6. Ce module supporte également les contacts fixes 4, lesquels sont soudés à l'une des extrémités des conducteurs primaires 9, dont l'autre extrémité 20 est reliée par soudure à la plage de contact correspondante 21 des bornes amont 5 de l'appareil. Cet ensemble est destiné à être monté sur le module de coupure 13, par introduction de l'arbre 2 dans des évidements en forme de U prévus dans le module, et montage en rotation de l'arbre 2 par rapport audit module 13 par introduction des parties d'extrémité 23,24 de l'arbre 2 supportant les contacts mobiles 3 respectivement dans deux orifices 26,25 prévus dans le module de coupure 13.
On notera que la chambre de coupure 13 est fixée au socle au moyen de systèmes à glissières 27,28 prévus en partie sur le module de coupure 13 et en partie sur le socle.The base 1 comprises housings 12 for receiving the upstream and downstream terminals 5 and 6 of the apparatus. According to the invention, the apparatus comprises a removable and monoblock cleavage module 13 comprising several breaking chambers 14,15,16 and 17 extending parallel to each other. In this embodiment, the number of breaking chambers is four.
This breaking module 13 is intended to support an assembly comprising the shaft 2 said movable contact holder 3, said movable contacts being connected by means of a braid 18 to the corresponding contact pad 19 of the downstream terminal 6. This module also supports the fixed contacts 4, which are welded to one end of the primary conductors 9, the other end 20 is connected by welding to the corresponding contact pad 21 of the upstream terminals 5 of the device. This assembly is intended to be mounted on the breaking module 13, by introducing the shaft 2 into U-shaped recesses provided in the module, and rotatably mounting the shaft 2 relative to said module 13 by introducing the end portions 23,24 of the shaft 2 supporting the movable contacts 3 respectively in two orifices 26,25 provided in the breaking module 13.
It will be noted that the breaking chamber 13 is fixed to the base by means of sliding systems 27, 28 partially provided on the breaking module 13 and partly on the base.

Du fait que le module de coupure est amovible, la matière de la chambre de coupure aura avantageusement des propriétés techniques différentes de celles du boîtier et le socle et le couvercle n'interviendront pas dans la coupure de l'arc électrique.
Ainsi, les performances de la chambre de coupure ne sont plus dépendantes d'un compromis sur les performances techniques avec les autres fonctions du socle ou du couvercle concernant par exemple la matière, les coûts des matières, les logements des bornes, la charte esthétique de plusieurs gammes d'appareils.
Ainsi, les performances de l'interrupteur seront supérieures à celles des appareils modulaires actuels, la matière noble étant réservée pour la chambre de coupure.
Les chambres sont étanches les unes par rapport aux autres et par rapport au socle, du fait que le module est monobloc et du fait que la disposition de l'arbre porte-contact permet d'avoir des chambres profondes.
Les lignes de fuite sont préservées car il n'y a pas de lignes de fuite courtes entre les chambres, du fait qu'il n'y a pas de joint entre les chambres, le module de coupure étant monobloc. Il en résulte qu'avec cette solution de chambres fermées par un arbre, il est possible sans contrainte supplémentaire, d'allonger les autres lignes de fuite en augmentant la profondeur des chambres.
Selon la réalisation illustrée sur les figures, l'arbre porte-contacts, les contacts mobiles, les contacts fixes, les ressorts de pression de contact et le ressort d'ouverture sont intégrés au module monobloc amovible constitué par les chambres de coupure.
Il en résulte que les positionnements de l'arbre porte-contacts, des contacts mobiles et des contacts fixes ne font référence qu'à une seule pièce.
Ainsi, les dispersions de positionnement sont minimum et le montage du module dans le socle est très facile.Because the breaking module is removable, the material of the interrupting chamber will advantageously have different technical properties from those of the housing and the base and the cover will not intervene in the breaking of the electric arc.
Thus, the performances of the interrupting chamber are no longer dependent on a compromise on the technical performance with the other functions of the base or the cover concerning for example the material, the material costs, the housing of the terminals, the aesthetic charter of several ranges of devices.
Thus, the performance of the switch will be greater than those of current modular devices, the noble material being reserved for the interrupting chamber.
The chambers are sealed relative to each other and relative to the base, because the module is monobloc and the fact that the arrangement of the contact-carrier shaft allows to have deep chambers.
The vanishing lines are preserved because there are no short vanishing lines between the chambers, because there is no seal between the chambers, the cutoff module being in one piece. As a result, with this solution of chambers closed by a shaft, it is possible without additional constraint, to lengthen the other creepage distances by increasing the depth of the chambers.
According to the embodiment illustrated in the figures, the contact-carrying shaft, the movable contacts, the fixed contacts, the contact pressure springs and the opening spring are integrated in the removable monobloc module constituted by the breaking chambers.
As a result, the positioning of the contact carrier shaft, movable contacts and fixed contacts refer to only one part.
Thus, the positioning dispersions are minimum and mounting the module in the base is very easy.

L'alignement des contacts est amélioré et par voie de conséquence les performances de fermeture et de coupure sont supérieures à celle des autres appareils modulaires.
Il n'y a pas de contact et de ressort à positionner sur le socle au moment du montage.
Il n'y a pas non plus de nécessité de prévoir des vis de fixation du module sur le socle pour compresser les ressorts de pression de contact. Ceci permet l'assemblage du tore et des primaires au module de coupure hors du socle et non pas dans le socle.
Le montage du tore et des primaires assemblés au module de coupure dans le socle peut se faire en une seule fois et non pas en deux fois.
En outre, les primaires équipés du tore et des plages de contact sont soudés aux contacts fixes, lesquels sont positionnés sur le module de coupure en dehors du socle. Il en résulte que les projections des soudures ne tombent pas dans le socle et qu'il n'y a donc pas de pollution interne lors des soudures des liaisons électriques et donc pas de risque de réduire les lignes de fuite internes.
De plus, les plages de soudure des contacts fixes sont placées au plus près du fond du module de coupure de manière que les soudures puissent être réalisées avec le fond des chambres de coupure dirigé vers le haut de l'appareil, lorsque la chambre de coupure est en dehors du socle.
Ainsi, les projections des soudures ne tombent pas dans les chambres de coupure.
Il n'y a donc pas de pollution des chambres de coupure lors des soudures des liaisons électriques et donc pas de risque de réduire les lignes de fuite internes aux chambres de coupure.
Ainsi, ce sous-ensemble constitué peut être commun à plusieurs boîtiers différents, en particulier avec des bornes différentes par leur taille ou par leur type. Les socles peuvent aussi être différents par leur couleur, par leur matière, par leur forme.
Les socles peuvent aussi être différents par leur fonction pour réaliser un interrupteur différentiel, un interrupteur, un interrupteur sectionneur, à commande à distance ou non....
Ainsi, le socle ne gêne plus pour assembler les composants soit manuellement soit automatiquement. Les fonctions internes peuvent évoluer sans changer le socle. Le socle peut évoluer sans changer les fonctions internes.
La configuration des fonctions peut être flexible sans changer les fonctions internes. Il est possible de faire de la différentiation retardée. Les montages de bornes peuvent être différents à cage ou élastiques en ayant des socles différents. Il est possible de changer l'aspect du boîtier sans modifier les fonctions internes.
Il est possible de tester les fonctions hors du socle. Ce qui évite de mettre des sous-ensembles défectueux sur la ligne finale de fabrication, d'où une réduction des coûts.
Des variantes de sous-ensembles peuvent être stockées pour donner de la flexibilité à la fabrication.The alignment of the contacts is improved and consequently the closing and breaking performance is higher than that of other modular devices.
There is no contact and spring to position on the base at the time of assembly.
There is also no need to provide screws for fixing the module on the base to compress the contact pressure springs. This allows the assembly of the core and the primary to the breaking module out of the base and not in the base.
The assembly of the toroid and assembled primaries to the breaking module in the base can be done at once and not in two times.
In addition, the primaries equipped with torus and contact pads are welded to the fixed contacts, which are positioned on the breaking module outside the base. As a result, the projections of the welds do not fall into the base and therefore there is no internal pollution during soldering of the electrical connections and therefore no risk of reducing the internal creepage distances.
In addition, the contacting areas of the fixed contacts are placed closer to the bottom of the cutoff module so that the welds can be made with the bottom of the cutoff chambers directed towards the top of the device, when the breaking chamber is outside the base.
Thus, the projections of the welds do not fall into the breaking chambers.
There is therefore no pollution of the cut-off chambers during the soldering of the electrical connections and therefore no risk of reducing the internal creepage distances to the breaking chambers.
Thus, this subset constituted may be common to several different housings, in particular with terminals different in size or type. The pedestals may also be different in color, material and form.
The bases can also be different in their function to make a differential switch, a switch, a switch disconnector, remote control or not.
Thus, the base does not interfere to assemble the components either manually or automatically. Internal functions can evolve without changing the base. The base can evolve without changing the internal functions.
The configuration of the functions can be flexible without changing the internal functions. It is possible to do delayed differentiation. The mountings of terminals can be different cage or elastic with different bases. It is possible to change the appearance of the case without changing the internal functions.
It is possible to test the functions out of the base. This avoids putting defective subassemblies on the final line of manufacture, thus reducing costs.
Subassembly variants can be stored to give flexibility to manufacture.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisations décrits et illustrés qui n'ont été donnés qu'à titre d'exemple.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described and illustrated which have been given by way of example.
