Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a switching device.
  • the invention more particularly relates to an emergency stop type switching device.
  • an emergency stop device comprises a first assembly carrying the actuating member and a second assembly consisting of a contact block intended to be mounted on the first assembly.
  • the contact block comprises a movable bridge supporting movable contacts actuated by the actuating member relative to fixed contacts between a closed position and an open position to respectively close or open an electrical circuit.
  • the contacts are of normally closed type.
  • the first set and the second set are mounted mechanically on either side of a wall.
  • the contact block is therefore invisible to the user. It is therefore impossible for the user to know permanently if the first set is mounted on the second set. But a stall of one of the sets relative to the other no longer allows the device to work properly. Since an emergency stop device is intended to exercise a safety function, it is necessary that this device functions properly. For this, we must ensure that the first set is well hooked to the second set.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a new solution to ensure that the first set is mounted on the second set.
  • This solution is simple in operation and is made in a limited space.
  • the second assembly comprises actuating means for acting on the movable bridge on either side of its axis of rotation and in opposite directions.
  • actuating means are for example included in a pusher operable between three positions corresponding to the three positions of the movable bridge.
  • the actuating means comprise for example two cams made on the pusher and between which is interposed the movable bridge.
  • the second assembly comprises a first spring biasing the pusher in translation.
  • This first spring is for example helical type.
  • the second assembly comprises a second spring biasing the movable bridge towards its closed position.
  • This second spring is for example blade type.
  • the movable bridge comprises two movable contacts disposed on either side of the axis of rotation and on two opposite faces of a support plate rotatably mounted around the axis of rotation.
  • the three positions taken by the movable bridge are distinct, the third position taken by the movable bridge being a second open position of the electrical circuit.
  • the switching device formed by the first set and the second set is for example an emergency stop device.
  • the invention compared to the prior art, the invention therefore has the advantage of using the same mobile bridge to perform both the monitoring function of the assembly of the first set on the second set and the normal function. of the emergency stop type switching device. Therefore, even if the fixed and mobile are welded together, the actuation of the actuating member will come to open the contacts.
  • the two functions being fulfilled by means of two distinct movable bridges, if the normally open contacts used for monitoring the mounting of the head are welded together, the actuation of the body Actuation can not be used to separate them. The assembly monitoring function of the first set on the second set can no longer be ensured.
  • the invention relates to a switching device and more particularly to an emergency stop device, also called a punch switch.
  • an emergency stop type switching device comprises two distinct sets 1, 2.
  • the first assembly 1 comprises an actuating member 10 intended to be depressed in an emergency by the operator along an axis (X) to open an electrical circuit.
  • the actuating member 10 can thus take a rest position ( figure 1 B) in which it is not depressed leaving the electrical circuit closed and an actuating position ( Figure 1 C) in which it is depressed to open the electrical circuit.
  • the second set 2 is a contact block for controlling the electrical circuit (not shown).
  • a contact block generally comprises a housing 20 containing a pusher 21 ( figure 3 ) on which acts the actuating member 10 and a movable bridge 22 carrying movable contacts 221, said movable bridge 22 being actuated in motion relative to fixed contacts 201 between a closed position and an open position for respectively closing or opening the electric circuit according to the position of the actuating member 10.
  • the movable bridge 22 When the actuating member 10 is in the rest position, the movable bridge 22 is in the closed position of the electric circuit ( Figure 1 B) and when the actuating member 10 is in the actuating position, the movable bridge 22 is in the open position of the electric circuit ( Figure 1 C) .
  • the switching device of the invention further comprises means for monitoring that the second set 2 is hooked on the first set 1. These means consist in keeping the electric circuit open as the first set 1 is mechanically disconnected from the second together 2.
  • the movable bridge 22 of the second assembly 2 is of rotary type and is operable in rotation about an axis of rotation (A) included in a plane perpendicular to the actuation axis (X) of the actuating member 10.
  • the movable bridge 22 can take three distinct positions around its axis of rotation ( FIGS. 2A to 2C ).
  • the movable bridge 22 can thus take said closed position ( Figure 1 B) when the first set 1 is correctly mounted on the second set 2 and the actuating member 10 is in the rest position, said open position ( Figure 1 C) when the first set 1 is correctly mounted on the second set 2 and the actuating member 10 is in the actuating position and a third position ( Figure 1A ) which is a second open position in which the first set 1 is mechanically disconnected from the second set 2.
  • the electric circuit remains open if the first set 1 is not correctly mounted on the second one 2.
  • the movable bridge 22 is moved into its closed position and the emergency stop device can thus fulfill its function.
  • the movable bridge 22 comprises a plate 220 rotatably mounted on a support 23, said plate 220 carrying two opposite faces each supporting a movable contact 221, the two movable contacts 221 being arranged on each side on either side. of the axis of rotation (A). Vis-à-vis each movable contact 221, the housing 20 of the second assembly 2 encloses a fixed contact 201 connected to the circuit electric to order.
  • the movable bridge 22 is mounted on a spring, for example of the blade type 24, urging it about its axis of rotation (A) counterclockwise (S1) towards its closed position, said spring 24 being housed between the plate 220 and the support 23 of the movable bridge.
  • the pusher 21 is also mounted on a spring 25, for example of helicoidal type, housed in the bottom of the housing 20 of the second assembly 2 and urging the pusher 21 in translation along the axis (X) against the movement of the actuating member 10 when the two sets 1, 2 are hooked. With a slide, the pusher 21 is guided in translation along the axis (X) in a groove formed on the housing 20 of the second assembly 2.
  • a spring 25 for example of helicoidal type
  • the second assembly 2 further comprises actuating means for actuating the movable bridge 22 in rotation between its positions by acting on the movable bridge on either side of its axis of rotation (A). , in directions parallel to the axis (X) and in opposite directions.
  • actuation means comprise two cams 210, 211 ( figure 3 ) formed on the pusher 21.
  • the movable bridge is interposed between the two cams 210, 211 of the pusher 21 so that a first cam 210 of the pusher is capable of pressing on a first face of the plate 220 of the movable bridge, one side of the axis of rotation (A), to drive the latter in rotation in the clockwise direction (S2) and that a second cam 211 of the pusher is capable of pressing on the opposite face of the plate 220 of the movable bridge 22, on the other side of the axis of rotation (A), for driving the latter in rotation clockwise (S2).
  • the two cams 210, 211 thus both drive the mobile bridge in rotation in the clockwise direction (S2), but, depending on the position of the pusher 21, they act in two directions substantially parallel to the axis (X) on both opposite sides of the plate 220 of the movable bridge 22 and on either side of the axis of rotation (A) of the movable bridge 22, so as to give it two distinct positions ( Figures 2A and 2C ).
  • the solution of the invention is particularly simple inexpensive and of limited size.
