Description
- The present description concerns the technical field of electrical apparatuses and, more particularly, it concerns an interlocking device as defined in the preamble of
claim 1. - In the technical field of electrical apparatuses it is known to use interlocking devices that can be operatively associated with a plurality of electrical apparatuses for interlocking the apparatuses themselves.
- For example it is known to interlock electrical circuit breakers, for example to prevent the undesired simultaneous connection of a load to two electric power sources intended to operate in a mutually exclusive manner (like, for example, a primary power source and an auxiliary power source).
- An interlocking device of the type discussed above is described for example in the patent application published with number
EP 1916682 . - The interlocking device described in such a patent application comprises a pair of inhibition levers that are suitable for being rigidly coupled with respective manoeuvring elements of the electrical apparatuses to be interlocked. The manoeuvring elements of the electrical apparatuses are independently movable between a first and a second operating position of the manoeuvring elements. The inhibition levers are independently movable between a first and a second operating position of the manoeuvring levers. Through a lock element slidably mounted between a first and a second locking position, the inhibition levers can be alternatively and selectively locked in one of the aforementioned operating positions. In such a way the manoeuvring element of the apparatus which is coupled with the locked inhibition lever, is in turn locked in a predetermined operating position of the manoeuvring element.
- In an interlocking device of the type described above, if the locked manoeuvring element were, for example by mistake, forced to assume the other operating position, the corresponding inhibition lever could break making the interlocking device useless and making the device operate in vain. It should be noted, in particular, that in the case in which the electrical apparatuses to be interlocked are electrical circuit breakers, a possible damaging of the interlocking device could lead to serious risks for the people and/or for the electrical systems to which the electrical circuit breakers are connected.
- One particular purpose of the present description, is that of providing an interlocking device that is particularly effective in preventing possible accidental breaking of the interlocking device due to forcing of the manoeuvring elements of the electrical apparatuses to be interlocked.
- One general purpose of the present invention, is that of providing an alternative interlocking device with respect to interlocking devices of the prior art discussed above.
- These and other purposes are achieved with an interlocking device as defined in the attached
claim 1 in a general embodiment and in the dependent claims in some particular embodiments. - Another object of the present invention is an interlocking group as defined in any one of claims 11 to 15.
- The invention shall become clearer from the following detailed description of its embodiments, given as an example and therefore in no way to limit in relation to the attached drawings, in which:

- With reference to
figures 1-3 , a group of parts, or interlockinggroup 1, has been generally indicated withreference numeral 1, comprising aninterlocking device 10 according to a currently preferred embodiment and a first and a secondauxiliary body group 1 is coupled with a first and a second electrical apparatus Sw_dx, Sw_sx. - According to one embodiment, the electrical apparatuses Sw_dx, Sw_sx each comprise a
respective apparatus body apparatus bodies front wall back wall front wall side walls 15A', 15A" and 15B', 15B" is joined and arranged substantially perpendicular to thefront wall back wall respective apparatus body - According to one embodiment, on the
front walls apparatus bodies figures 1 and3 , the first lever L_sx is represented respectively in the first operating position OFF and in the second operating position ON. Infigure 2 , the second lever L_dx is represented in the first operating position OFF. - In the example, the electrical apparatuses Sw_dx, Sw_sx are, not for limiting purposes, two modular electrical circuit breakers Sw_dx, Sw_sx, more particularly two tetrapolar circuit breakers. In the case being used as an example, in which the electrical apparatuses Sw_dx, Sw_sx are electrical circuit breakers, the operative positions OFF and ON are respectively associated to an open state and a closed state of such circuit breakers.
- As it is known, the
interlocking device 10 has the function of interlocking the electrical apparatuses Sw_dx, Sw_sx. For example, thedevice 10 is suitable for interlocking the electrical circuit breakers Sw_dx, Sw_sx, so as to prevent an undesired simultaneous connection of a load to two electric power sources intended to operate in a mutually exclusive manner (such as, for example, a primary and an auxiliary power source). According to one embodiment, thedevice 10 is in particular an interlocking device of the mechanical type, suitable, that is, for mechanically interfering with the manoeuvring levers L_dx, L_sx for interlocking the circuit breakers Sw_dx, Sw_sx. Preferably, theinterlocking device 10 is a modular device. - In
figure 6 , thedevice 10 is represented by itself, that is to say without the other components of thegroup 1 and without the circuit breakers Sw_dx, Sw_sx. As can be observed in such a figure, thedevice 10 comprises asupport body 20. According to one advantageous embodiment, thesupport body 20 is a box-shaped body. Preferably such a box-shaped body comprises afront wall 21, aback wall 22 opposite to thefront wall 21, and a pair of side walls opposite to each other 23A, 23B joined to the front andback walls support body 20 can be provided on the inside with an indicating device that is suitable for indicating the electrical state of the electrical circuit breakers Sw_dx, Sw_sx. For this reason, with reference tofigure 8 , in the example thesupport body 20 is equipped with a pair ofdevice levers levers levers - As can be observed in
figures 1-3 , thesupport body 20 is adapted to be operatively interposed between the circuit breakers Sw_dx, Sw_sx. In the example, thesupport body 20 is interposed between the pair ofwalls 15A'', 15B" , respectively of the circuit breaker Sw_dx and of the circuit breaker Sw_sx. - According to an advantageous embodiment, the
support body 20 comprises a plurality of box-shaped bodies, or box-shaped body modules, coupled to each other. For this, in the example, thesupport body 20 is formed in particular by three box-shaped body modules body 20 is formed by acentral body module 20C and by twoside body modules central module 20C. Preferably, if provided, theaforementioned levers modules modules modules module 20C has a respective open side facing towards one of themodules module 20C may not be provided with one of the respective side walls (not visible in the figures) facing themodules module 20C through moulding using a single mould. - According to one embodiment, the
device 10 can be coupled with the circuit breakers Sw_dx, Sw_sx in a substantially irremovable manner. For such a purpose,hooks figure 6 ) of a per se known type can be provided at the sides of thesupport body 20. Thehooks respective hooking openings figures 1 and5 ) provided respectively on theside walls 15A" , 15B " of the electrical circuit breakers. In particular, when thedevice 10 is coupled with the circuit breakers Sw_dx, Sw_sx, theside walls 15A" , 15B " respectively face theside walls support body 20. In the example, for decoupling the interlockingdevice 10 from the circuit breakers Sw_dx, Sw_sx, it is necessary to remove, through a tool, such as for example a screwdriver,front portions fig. 8 ). In such a way it is possible to access thehooks device 10. - Going back to
figures 1-3 , thedevice 10 comprises a coveringshell 30. Theshell 30 is coupled to thesupport body 20 and is movable with respect to the support body so as to alternatively assume a first operating configuration (figure 1 ) and a second operating configuration (figure 2 ). More in particular, the coveringshell 30 is slidably mounted on thesupport body 20 so as to translate along a sliding direction X. Theshell 30 is suitable for translating along the direction X so that in the first and in the second operating configuration it is suitable for respectively covering the lever L_dx (figure 1 ) and the lever L_sx (figure 2 ). The coveringshell 30, has the main function of substantially preventing manual access to the manoeuvring lever L_dx or L_sx that is covered by such a shell. In other words, theshell 30 is suitable for alternatively coupling a considerable portion of thefront walls - With reference to
figures 9-10 , according to one advantageous embodiment that makes it possible to make thedevice 10 in a particularly economically advantageous manner, the coveringshell 30 comprises afirst shell 30A, or relativelyinner shell 30A, and asecond shell 30B, or relativelyouter shell 30B, which is coupled to the first shell. In particular, as shall become clearer later on, theouter shell 30B is mounted overlapped to the inner shell so as to keep the coveringshell 30 and thesupport body 20 coupled to each other. - The outer shell is suitable for defining a cavity 31 (
fig. 10 ) inside which the inner shell is received. Preferably, the outer shell is essentially counter-shaped with respect to the inner shell. - Preferably, the inner and outer shells are fixed to one another in a substantially irremovable manner, for example through gluing or in other ways that are suitable for allowing a stable fixing between the shells. Alternatively, according to a less preferred embodiment, the inner and outer shells could be coupled to each other also in a removable manner by providing suitable means for coupling between the two shells available to a man skilled in the art.
- As can be observed in
figure 10 , theinner shell 30A is equipped withinhibition elements 32, preferably formed byinhibition tabs 32. Such tabs are arranged on one side of the inner shell intended to operatively face thesupport body 20. Theinhibition tabs 32, in the example threeinhibition tabs 32, are suitable for mechanically interfering in abutment against the manoeuvring lever L_dx or L_sx which is covered by the coveringshell 30. In general, thetabs 32 have the purpose of preventing the manoeuvring lever L_dx or L_sx which is covered by theshell 30 from taking up the second operating position ON. According to one embodiment, thetabs 32 are suitable for maintaining the lever L_dx or L_sx which is covered by theshell 30 in the position OFF, or substantially in the position OFF, to keep the respective circuit breaker Sw_dx or Sw_sx in the open state. - According to one embodiment, the
inner shell 30A comprisesfirst abutment elements 33 that are suitable for alternatively cooperating with the lever L_sx and with the lever L_dx in the second operating position ON so as to keep theshell 30 respectively in the first (figure 1 ) and in the second (figure 2 ) operating configuration. Thefirst abutment elements 33 preferably comprise a pair ofabutment walls 33 opposite to each other which substantially extend perpendicular with respect to the sliding direction X. Preferably, theabutment walls 33 can also have an inhibiting function analogous to that of theinhibition tabs 32. - According to one embodiment, the
inner shell 30A is equipped withfirst coupling elements 34 that are suitable for cooperating with second coupling elements 35 (fig. 8 ) which are provided on thesupport body 20 to slidably couple the coveringshell 30 to the support body. According to one preferred embodiment, thesecond coupling elements 35 are provided on themodules figure 10 , thefirst coupling elements 34 preferably comprise a pair ofcoupling channels 34 that are provided on two opposite edges of the inner shell. The second coupling elements preferably comprise a plurality of coupling tongues 35 (fig. 8 ), having, in the example, a substantially "L"-shaped profile, which are intended to be inserted in thechannels 34. During the movement of theshell 30 between the first and the second operating configuration, thetongues 35 slidingly pass through anopen side 36 of the channels 34 (fig. 10 ) having a mainly longitudinal extension. - The
outer shell 30B is adapted to be fitted and fixed to the inner shell so as to keep thechannels 34 and thetongues 35 coupled to each other. For such a purpose, the outer shell is preferably provided withsecond abutment elements 37 that are adapted to alternatively mechanically interfere in abutment against thetongues 35. According to one embodiment, thesecond abutment elements 37 comprise a pair ofabutment side walls 37 opposite to each other suitable for mechanically interfering in abutment against thetongues 35 so as to prevent thetongues 35 from becoming decoupled from thechannels 34 during the sliding of theshell 30. In particular, thewalls 37 are suitable for preventing thetongues 35 from coming out from thechannels 34 through the side openings 38 (figure 10 ) arranged at opposite ends of thechannels 34. Theabutment walls 37 are joined and extend crosswise with respect to afront wall 39 of the outer shell. Theabutment walls 37, advantageously act also as end stop elements suitable for cooperating with thetongues 35 to stop the sliding of theshell 30 respectively at the first and second operating configuration. - Preferably, the outer shell comprises further side walls 41 (
fig. 10 ) interposed between theabutment walls 37, which are suitable for covering theopen sides 36 of thechannels 34. - According to a preferred embodiment, the inner and outer shells comprise
respective shell portions 42, 43 (figure 9 ) made from transparent material. Thetransparent portions shell 30. Preferably the outer shell comprises at least onewindow 42, and more preferably a plurality ofwindows 42, provided on the respectivefront wall 39. - The inner shell preferably comprises at least one respective
front wall 43, facing thewindows 42, which is entirely made from transparent material. According to one embodiment even a single portion of thewall 43 can be made from transparent material. Alternatively, according to a currently preferred embodiment, the entire inner shell can be made with a transparent material. It should be observed, moreover, that according to one embodiment, thewindows 42 can also be formed by through openings, instead of by portions of the outer shell made with a transparent material. Advantageously, the fact of providing a portion of the inner shell made of transparent material and a facing window provided on the outer shell, also made from transparent material or as a through opening, makes it possible to always have access to important information relative to the circuit breakers Sw_dx, Sw_sx, like for example the rating data of the circuit breakers and/or the operative state of the latter, without requiring having to move theshell 30. - Returning now to
figure 1 , according to one embodiment, the first and the secondauxiliary body side walls 15A', 15B' of the circuit breakers Sw_dx, Sw_sx so that the interlockingdevice 10 and the circuit breakers Sw_sx, Sw_dx are interposed between theauxiliary bodies - According to one embodiment, in addition or as an alternative with respect to what has been described previously or to what will be described later, the first 11A and the second 11B auxiliary body comprise
respective body portions front walls portions shell 30 when such a shell assumes the first and the second operating configuration (fig.1, fig. 2 ), respectively. For such a purpose, it should be observed that in the case in which the auxiliary bodies comprise the projectingportions support body 20 and theshell 30 to stop the sliding of such a shell in the first and second operating configuration, respectively. - According to one embodiment, in order to ensure a greater safety and reliability of the
group 1, first and second connectingelements shell 30 and on the projectingportions holes 46 provided on the outer shell whereas the second connecting elements comprise two pairs ofpins 47 provided on the projectingportions pins 47 are suitable for engaging inside theholes 46 so as to provide an end support to theshell 30 at the first and second operating configuration so as to minimise possible tilting of theshell 30 in a direction that is substantially perpendicular with respect to the sliding direction X. - According to one preferred embodiment, at least one of the
auxiliary bodies body 11B, is provided withinterconnection elements 49 for coupling an accessory device, such as for example an auxiliary indicating device or a device for releasing the circuit breaker of the per se known type (not represented), with one of the circuit breakers Sw_sx, Sw_dx. Preferably, such interconnection elements comprise anauxiliary lever 49 which is mobile through aslot 48 provided on one of theauxiliary bodies auxiliary lever 49 is suitable for being rigidly connected to the lever L_sx and to an accessory device of such a circuit breaker, respectively. - According to one advantageous embodiment, in addition or as an alternative to what has previously been described or to what shall later be described, the
group 1 comprises acontainment band 50, orcontainment bar 50. Preferably, such a containment band is formed by a strip of sheet metal that is folded so as to have a substantially "C"-shaped profile. Theband 50 is removably coupled to the first and to the secondauxiliary body band 50 is suitable for embracing theauxiliary bodies device 10 so as to form a substantially single block group together with the circuit breakers Sw_sx, Sw_dx. This advantageously makes it possible to reduce the risk of dangerous manoeuvres, for people or for the plants, being carried out, for example during subsequent mounting/demounting operations of thegroup 1 coupled with the circuit breakers Sw_dx, Sw_sx, for example inside an electric panel in which such circuit breakers can be installed. Indeed, in order to disassemble thegroup 1, it is necessary to intentionally release theband 50 from theauxiliary bodies band 50, the risk of an accidental disassembling of thegroup 1 from the circuit breakers Sw_sx, Sw_dx is significantly reduced. - Now that we have described the structure of the interlocking
device 10 and of thegroup 1, we shall now describe how thedevice 10 and thegroup 1 operate with reference to the embodiment illustrated in the figures. - Let us initially consider the
group 1 with theshell 30 in the first operating configuration (fig. 1 ). In such a configuration the lever L_dx is covered by theshell 30 and cannot therefore be accessed from the front side of the circuit breaker Sw_dx. Moreover, thepins 47 of theauxiliary body 11A are inserted in theholes 46 of theshell 30. In the configuration offigure 1 the lever L_dx cannot assume the ON position since it is maintained in the OFF position, or substantially in the OFF position, through theinhibition tabs 32. The lever L_sx, which is not covered by theshell 30, is on the other hand freely mobile between the ON and OFF positions. Since infigure 1 the lever L_sx is in the OFF position, the coveringshell 30 can be made to slide along the direction X, for example manually, until it assumes the second operating configuration (fig. 2 ). Vice versa, with reference to the configuration offigure 3 , in which theshell 30 is in the first operating configuration but the lever L_sx is in the ON position, it is not possible to make theshell 30 slide along the direction X. Indeed, in such a configuration the lever L_sx is suitable for mechanically interfering in abutment against one of theabutment walls 33. For such a purpose, it should in particular be observed that in the example, as can be noted more clearly infigure 4 , in which an enlarged detail of the configuration offigure 3 is represented, the lever L_sx indirectly interferes in abutment against thewall 33 through thelever 21B. - As far as the second operating configuration of the
shell 30 illustrated infigure 2 is concerned, such a configuration substantially corresponds to that offigure 1 , with the difference that thepins 47 of theauxiliary body 11B are inserted in theholes 46 of theshell 30 and that the lever L_sx is the lever covered by theshell 30, whereas the lever L_dx is freely mobile between the positions OFF and ON. In order to keep the description brief, the configuration offigure 2 shall not be described in detail. In any case it should be observed, that if from the configuration offigure 2 the lever L_dx were to assume the ON position, the sliding of theshell 30 along the direction X would be prevented in an analogous manner as what was discussed above with reference tofigure 3 . - It is obvious that numerous modifications and/or variants can be made with respect to what has been described above purely as a non limiting example.
- For example from what has been discussed above according to one embodiment, the
shell 30 may also be made as a single shell, for example made in a single piece, instead of being a shell formed by two shells coupled to each other. - According to further embodiments (not shown in the figures), the
support body 20 can comprise a number of box-shaped bodies, or body modules, different from three. For such a purpose it is worth observing for example that the interlockingdevice 10 can be made with ashell 30 that is shorter in the sliding direction X, for example for interlocking electrical apparatuses that are shorter in such a direction, such as bipolar circuit breakers. In such a case thesupport body 20 is preferably formed only by twobody modules body module 20C is eliminated. Alternatively, according to one less preferred embodiment, thesupport body 20 could also however be formed by a single box-shaped body. - According to one embodiment (not illustrated in the figures), in the case in which the
levers walls 33, directly by thewalls 37 of the outer shell. For such a purpose thewalls 37 could be suitably shaped, for example by increasing the respective surface extension towards thefront wall 21 of thebody 20, so as to be able to directly mechanically interfere in abutment alternatively with the manoeuvring levers L_dx, L_sx of the circuit breakers Sw_dx, Sw_sx. In this case, according to one embodiment, thewalls 37 would therefore be suitable both for mechanically interfering in abutment against the manoeuvring levers on the side outside theshell 30 and for mechanically interfering in abutment against thecoupling tongues 35 from the inner side of theshell 30. In other words, in this case thewalls 37 would simultaneously carry out both the function of the first abutment elements and the function of the second abutment elements. - Based upon what has been described above, it is thus possible to understand how an interlocking device according to the present description makes it possible to achieve the purposes mentioned above.
- The fact of providing a covering shell that is slidably mounted to a support body and that is suitable for alternatively covering the manoeuvring elements of the electrical apparatuses advantageously makes it possible to substantially prevent access to the manoeuvring element which is each time covered by the shell. In such a way it is thus possible to avoid forcing the manoeuvring element that is covered by the shell. An interlocking device according to the present description thus has a relatively simple structure, while at the same time making it possible to interlock, in a particularly safe and reliable manner, the electrical apparatuses to be interlocked.
- It should moreover be observed that an interlocking device according to claim 2 can be made in a particularly cost-effective manner through moulding, since it makes it possible for example to make the support body by simplifying the structure of the relative moulds. Moreover, an interlocking device according to such an embodiment has a structure that is particularly versatile. Indeed, as discussed above, for example, it is possible to simply make both a support body, formed with three box-shaped modules coupled with one another for using the interlocking device with modular tetrapolar circuit breakers and a support body formed by two box-shaped modules coupled to each other for the use of the interlocking device with modular bipolar circuit breakers.
It is also worth observing that, as discussed above, also an interlocking device according to one of claims 6 to 8 makes it possible to obtain theshell 30 with a geometry that is relatively simple in relation to the process of injection moulding. Moreover, an interlocking device according to such embodiments, facilitates the assembly of the interlocking device simplifying the coupling of theshell 30 to thesupport body 20. Again, an interlocking device according to such embodiments, is particularly reliable with respect to possible accidental damage of the interlocking device thanks to the fact that the first and the second coupling elements between the shell and the support body are always protected inside theshell 30.
It should also be observed that, as discussed above, an interlocking group according to claim 14 is particularly effective in reducing the risk of carrying out potentially dangerous manoeuvres for people and/or systems, for example during subsequent assembly/disassembly operations in an electric panel. - Without affecting the principles of the invention, the embodiments and the details can be widely varied with respect to what has been described and illustrated purely as a non-limiting example, without for this reason departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the attached claims.
