Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a multipolar electrical protection apparatus for an installation head with a neutral pole module intended to be associated with at least one phase pole module, and which comprises an integrated remote release.
  • the purpose is in particular to allow to prohibit the power of a line, remotely, by an electrical signal from, for example, the electricity supplier.
  • the interest of such a function can be safe, when an agent of the services of distribution of electricity must intervene on a line, or purely economic, for the remote management of the electricity supplier.
  • the signal is then in both cases sent by the operator of the electrical network.
  • the objective of the present invention is to integrate this function directly into the housing of the multipole protection device, which implies either a rearrangement of the interior space of the housing, the external shape of which is not modified, either a rearrangement of the volume between the two connecting devices of the neutral pole line.
  • a function is added to the neutral pole apparatus or module, and the components necessary for carrying out said function must therefore be integrated into the available space.
  • a pole involves main title, between two line connection devices, a movable contact able to move between two positions respectively in contact and at a distance from a fixed contact respectively corresponding to the closing and opening of the neutral line, and a mechanical lock placed between a control lever and the movable contact, by means of which the movements of the joystick are transmitted to the movable contact and which opens the contacts in the event of triggering caused by a trigger member on receipt of a opening signal conveyed by a specific command line.
  • the kinematics of the entire mechanism is such that the phase contacts can not be closed before those of the neutral line are. Conversely, at the time of opening, the system is provided so that the neutral pole opens only when the phase pole or poles are themselves already open.
  • the electrical operation of the invention is quite normal in the absence of an external signal opening on the control line, capable of supplying the coil of the electromagnet.
  • an external signal opening on the control line capable of supplying the coil of the electromagnet.
  • the phase poles open, followed by the neutral pole. It is then not possible to close the neutral pole if the interruption signal is still present: as soon as the moving neutral contact comes into pressure against the fixed contact, the electromagnet is energized, and leads to the unlocking of the lock. Even if the control lever of the neutral pole is kept in the closed position, the phase poles can not be closed again.
  • a torsion spring is interposed between the barrel of the pawl trigger and the shaft of the transmission part, a rotation against the spring and in a restricted angular sector then being authorized by the mechanical link.
  • the movable core of the electromagnet and the triggering member are connected by a freely rotating rod to its two connecting ends respectively to said core and said trigger member.
  • the movement of the mobile core of the electromagnet causes the rod to pull from its proximal end of the electromagnet, and this displacement has an effect on the triggering member, its tower driven by the other end of the rod in the direction of an unlocking of the lock.
  • connection of the rod to the trigger member comprises an initial vacuum stroke, during the beginning of the displacement of the movable core of the electromagnet, leading to an initial displacement of the rod alone before driving the triggering member of the the lock.
  • This empty race is used in particular to catch the games related to the defects of the different parts.
  • the bead wire comprises a curved U end guided by a stud protruding from the trigger member of the lock and inserted between the branches of the U.
  • the stud in question is placed between the branches of the U at a distance from the rounded bottom of said U when the plunger core of the electromagnet is not attracted by the coil.
  • the rod When the idle stroke is over, the rod begins the training of the trigger member of the lock, starting unlocking the latter.
  • the actuating arm of the trigger pawl is driven by the trigger member.
  • the moving trigger member performs concomitant actions on the lock of the neutral pole and the ratchet trigger.
  • the kinematics of the entire mechanism makes the rotation printed trigger trigger by the trigger member of the lock - itself driven by the rod - position at the end of stroke said trigger pawl and therefore the shaft of the coin in a position such that the phase pole (s) opens (s) a little before the neutral pole, and that the moving neutral contact can deviate abruptly from the fixed contact under the effect of biasing means specific and without the lever of the transmission part obstructing.
  • the open mobile contact then exerts pressure on the holding lever, under the effect of said biasing means, ensuring the position of the pawl trigger and the non-arming stress of the phase pole or poles.
  • the triggering member is connected to the housing of the apparatus by a rotary connection, and has a shaped end configured to drive the operating arm during its rotary path.
  • the relative positioning and the precise configuration given to the various parts are such that they allow the succession of predetermined sequences as previously described.
  • the lever of the transmission part is driven by a link of the lock, one end of which pivots in the handle and the other end is rotatably connected to the end of a link with which it forms a knee joint, the opposite end of said link being freely connected in rotation with the movable contact.
  • the toggle lever allows the mobile contact to bear on the fixed contact, using a system using buttressing and friction in combination with a triggering device.
  • the link of the knee lever moves in contact with a pivoting ratchet, one end of which forms a guide ramp for the link and the other end is inserted into a notch of the trigger member of the lock.
  • a pivoting ratchet one end of which forms a guide ramp for the link and the other end is inserted into a notch of the trigger member of the lock.
  • the figure 1 represents an apparatus according to the invention, and more specifically a neutral pole of a selective circuit breaker, that is to say the opening and closing mechanism placed on a neutral line and conventionally comprising a movable contact (1 ) adapted to cooperate with a fixed contact (2), and an actuator (3) connected to said movable contact (1) via a trigger lock mechanism.
  • This mechanism is movable between a locked position of closure and an unlocked position of opening of the line, corresponding to the closing or opening of the contacts (1, 2).
  • the operating member (3) allows the control of a change of position of said mechanism, and reflects any unlocking due to the appearance on the line of electrical conditions incompatible with the maintenance of its closure.
  • the lock mechanism conventionally comprises a toggle consisting of a link (4) and a connecting rod (5).
  • the indentation (7) serves to disengage the spring (10) from the pawl (6), which constitutes a return means enabling the triggering member (8) to be returned to the initial position, allowing the pawl (6) to be immobilized by insertion.
  • the trigger member (8) pivots about the axis (9) clockwise, causing the release of the end (11) of the pawl (6), the latter is no longer locked and becomes free to rotate around the axis (13).
  • the lock triggers because the link (4) is no longer in stable support against the ramp (12) of the pawl (6) which is no longer locked in rotation.
  • the lock is designed to trigger in the event of the sending of an external signal for example by the operator of the electrical network, on a particular control line connected to the neutral module for example via a connector rapid insertion of the conductor in contact with an elastically flexible terminal.
  • the lock is triggered by tilting the trigger member (8) about the axis (9) under the action of a rod (14).
  • This is connected via a pivoting plate (15) to the plunger core (16) of an electromagnet (17).
  • the latter is therefore connected between the control line and the neutral in the module, so that in case of a neutral break, the electroaiment (17) is no longer supplied.
  • This configuration provides a positive security of this component by limiting its heating in case of a problem, and therefore the risk that it breaks unexpectedly.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 show that in normal operation of the breaking device of the invention, there is a clearance between the curved end of the rod (14) and said pin (18), allowing an initial idle stroke when the movable core (16) is attracted by the coil of the electromagnet (17), this race being provided to make up the games related to the possible defects of the parts.
  • FIGs 4 and 5 show two successive steps of the displacement of the core (16) in the electromagnet (17), and consequently two sequential phases of rotation of the trigger member (8) by the rod (14).
  • the triggering member (8) has a uniform end (19) provided to cooperate with a pawl trigger (20), and more particularly with an actuating arm (21) thereof.
  • the rod (14) initiates the unlocking of the lock since the trigger member (8) begins its tilting. At this point, the triggering member (8) has no effect on the pawl trigger (20).
  • the unciform end (19) of said member (8) is in contact with the actuating arm (21) of the release (20).
  • the movable core (16) of the electromagnet (17) ends its stroke within the coil, and the unciform end (19) of the trigger member (8) rotates the trigger (20). ) via the operating arm (21).
  • the rotation of the ratchet release (20) drives that of a shaft (22) provided to ensure the mechanical connection with a similar component of a phase pole module associated with the one shown, which concerns only the neutral pole .
  • the pawl release (20) is at the end of the stroke, positioning the shaft (22) such that an unlocking of the phase pole (s) associated with the neutral pole shown is produced.
  • the shaft (22) is actually part of a transmission part (23) further comprising a lever (24) (see FIG. figures 7 and 8 ) connected via the link (4) of the toggle lever to the control handle (3).
  • Said link (4) has in fact an outgrowth (25) maintained in certain phases in contact with the lever (24) and making it possible to modify the positioning of the transmission part (23), and in particular of the shaft (22), depending on the actual joystick position (3).
  • the trigger pawl (20) is subject to the shaft (22) with however an angular clearance residual as shown by the representation of the figure 8 .
  • the barrel (26) of the pawl release (20) has in fact a protuberance (27) cooperating with a notch (28) of the part (23) and which allows a limited angular displacement corresponding to the sector defined by said notch (28).
  • the shaft (26) is rotatably mounted on the shaft (22), on the angular sector delimited by the notch (28).
  • a torsion spring (29) whose axially-oriented ends are retained respectively by the operating arm (21) and a rib (30) integral with the lever (24) recalls the pawl trigger (20) in the position shown in FIG. figure 8 , for purposes which will be explained in more detail below.
  • the neutral pole electrical apparatus is associated with phase poles so that it has a pre-closure and a post-opening of its contacts (1). , 2). This allows in particular to avoid a possible return of current between two phases. Since the possibility of closing or controlling the opening of the phase poles depends on the angular position of the shaft (22), the kinematics of the entire system leading to the angular displacement of said shaft (22) must be provided to handle said pre-closing and post-opening. Thus, the position taken by the shaft (22) in figure 6 , leading to the opening of the phase poles or poles, occurs before triggering the neutral lock.
  • control lever (3) when the control lever (3) is in position such that the contact mobile contact with the fixed contact (2) during a closing phase, and despite the fact that the electromagnet (17) is powered, it is not yet possible to close the contacts of the phase or poles because the handle (3) is not in a stable position of closure, and that the position that it echoes to the shaft (22) through the transmission part (23) does not allow the closure of or phase poles. If there is a remote trip signal when the operator closes the neutral pole, the lock triggers when there is contact between the fixed contact (2) and the moving contact of the neutral pole at the moment when the electromagnet (17) is energized, and the pawl trigger (20) goes into the position prohibiting the closing of the phase pole (s).
