Definitions

  • the invention relates generally to the field of electrical equipment.
  • the invention relates to an electrical contact device, particularly used in a tripping switch disconnector, and comprising at least one fixed contact element, a movable contact element, and first and second rigid and movable current paths. relative to one another, the movable contact element being displaceable with respect to the fixed contact element between a cut-off position preventing the flow of electric current in the first and second current paths, and a position of contact allowing a flow of electric current in the first and second current paths, the movable contact element being rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation, said first current path being rigidly connected in rotation with said movable contact element around of the axis of rotation, and said first and second current paths being electrically connected to each other in a n sense proper to undergo, in case of current flow, an electromagnetic force converted, by rotation of the movable contact element about the axis of rotation, into a bearing force of this movable contact element on the fixed contact element, said axis of rotation being mounted on a support movable relative to the
  • a device of this type is particularly known from the European patent application EP 1 879 204 .
  • this technique can only be as effective as if the first and second current paths, between which the electromagnetic force used to increase the mutual support force of the fixed and mobile contact elements, are both sufficiently long and close enough to each other.
  • the document BE 889 311 A1 discloses a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention aims to provide a contact device which, while making the best use of the electromagnetic force developed by the passage of a current to increase the force of mutual support of the fixed and movable contact elements, has a high insulation capacity in the breaking position of the movable contact element.
  • the invention relates to a device according to claim 1. current remains constant when moving the movable contact element relative to the fixed contact element.
  • this electrical contact device comprises a housing to which the fixed contact elements are fixed.
  • the support can advantageously be mounted mobile in translation in the housing.
  • the invention relates to an electrical contact device that can notably be used in a tripping disconnect switch.
  • FIGS. Figures 1 and 2 A known device, of the type of those whose invention aims to improve the breaking performance, is illustrated in FIGS. Figures 1 and 2 .
  • Such a device comprises a fixed contact element 1, a movable contact element 2, and two current paths 31 and 32.
  • the current paths 31 and 32 which are mounted so as to be movable with respect to each other, are both rigid, that is to say not likely to undergo appreciable deformations in normal use. which is made, including within the scope of the present invention.
  • these current paths 31 and 32 are made in the form of rigid metal conductors, for example copper.
  • the movable contact element 2 is movable, relative to the fixed contact element 1, between a cut-off position which is visible on the figure 1 and which prevents the flow of electric current in the current paths 31 and 32, and a contact position which is visible at the figure 2 and which allows the circulation of an electric current in these current paths 31 and 32.
  • the movement of the movable contact element 2 between its cut-off position and its contact position is obtained, in the known contact device, by mounting both this movable contact element 2 and the current path 31 rotating around it. an axis of rotation X, this movable contact element 2 and this current path 31 being rigidly connected to each other to undergo the same rotational movements at the same time.
  • the current paths 31 and 32 are electrically connected in series with each other, for example by example by means of a flexible metal braid 6, so as to be traversed by the same current when the movable contact element 2 is in contact on the fixed contact element 1.
  • the braid 6 connects the current paths 31 and 32 in such a way that these current paths receive, in the event of current flow, an electromagnetic force corresponding to a torque exerted, with respect to the axis of rotation X, on the current path 31, and transmitted to the movable contact element 2 in the form of a bearing force of this movable contact element 2 on the fixed contact element 1.
  • the current path 32 is advantageously fixed relative to the fixed contact element 1, and the support 41 can be movable in translation in a housing, this movement being illustrated by the double arrow of the figure 3 between a position corresponding to the position of breaking the current of the movable contact and a position corresponding to the position of passage of the current of the movable contact.
  • the electrical contact device comprises Figures 7 and 8 ) a housing 5 to which is fixed the fixed contact element 1, so that the support 41 can be mounted movably in this housing 5.
  • the electrical contact device comprises only one movable contact element 2.
  • the current path 32 is advantageously fixed with respect to the fixed contact element 1, and the support 41 can for example be rotatably mounted in the housing 5 about an axis 410.
  • FIGS. Figures 5 and 6 illustrate a possible embodiment of the invention, wherein the electrical contact device comprises two movable contact elements 21 and 22, the operating principle of this second embodiment being illustrated in FIGS. Figures 5 and 6 .
  • the device according to this embodiment comprises two fixed contact elements 11 and 12, and, as in the first embodiment, two current paths 31 and 32 that are rigid and mobile. one with respect to the other.
  • the movable contact elements 21 and 22 are respectively displaceable, relative to the fixed contact elements 11 and 12, between a breaking position ( figures 5 and 9 ) preventing the flow of electric current in the current paths 31 and 32, and a contact position ( figures 6 and 10 ) allowing a flow of electric current in these current paths 31 and 32.
  • the movable contact element 21 and the current path 31 are both mounted in rotation about the same axis of rotation X1 by being rigidly connected to each other so as to always undergo the same rotational movements at the same time.
  • the movable contact element 22 and the current path 32 are both rotatably mounted about the same axis of rotation X2. being rigidly connected to each other so as to always undergo the same rotational movements at the same time.
  • the current paths 31 and 32 are electrically connected to each other, for example by means of a flexible metal braid 6, so as to undergo, in the event of current flow, a force electromagnetic which is reflected, by rotation about the respective axes of rotation X1 and X2 of these current paths and movable contact elements 21 and 22 to which they are respectively related, into a bearing force of each of these movable contact elements 21 and 22 on the fixed contact element 11 or 12 to which it corresponds.
  • the axes of rotation X1 and X2 are mounted on the same support 42, movable relative to each of the fixed contact elements 11 and 12.
  • the movable contact elements 21 and 22 can thus be simultaneously moved between their cut-off position and their contact position by moving the support 42 relative to the fixed contact elements 11 and 12.
  • the axes of rotation X1 and X2 may be coaxial.
  • the support 42 is movably mounted in this housing 5, preferably in translation for this embodiment.
  • the current paths 31 and 32 are substantially parallel to one another in the configuration for which each movable contact element is in contact with the corresponding fixed contact element.
  • the current paths 31 and 32 are electrically connected to each other in order to be traversed in the opposite direction by the same electric current, so that they undergo an electromagnetic force which pushes them away from one of the other.
  • This electromagnetic repulsion force exerted on the paths 31 and 32 thus has the effect of rotating each movable contact element 2, 21 or 22 about its axis of rotation X, X1, or X2, and of pressing it on the element corresponding fixed contact, 1, 11 or 12.
