Definitions

  • the present invention relates to electrical switching devices, modular type, more specifically when they are disconnectors.
  • Each device is traditionally made up of several modules contiguous to each other, each module having an outer casing and having a shell and a cover.
  • Each module is also conventionally provided with a control lever cooperating with a movable contact carrier driven by a mechanical lock and by means of return of the contact carrier respectively towards or away from a fixed contact. All levers of the device are then connected by a single actuator accessible by the user from outside the device, and which covers the various levers.
  • a disconnector In general, a disconnector must guarantee the circuit break if necessary and clearly indicate the state in which it is located, namely ON (contacts closed) or OFF (open contacts), so that there is no has no ambiguity for the user, especially to ensure its security.
  • the actuator must faithfully represent the position of the contacts and not be able to be forced into a position that does not reflect the position of all the contacts.
  • the indication of the state of the contacts must show that the contacts are not or not completely open. In other words, no visual indication, of the green color type on the corresponding control levers, or inscription "O" or "OFF” suggesting that the circuit is open, should therefore appear, potentially misleading the user on the state of the connections.
  • multimodal devices pose a particular problem because the place where the force is exerted does not necessarily correspond to the module where a bonding of the contacts occurred.
  • the action on the operating member can very well be exerted on one of the side devices while the bonding of the contacts has occurred on the opposite side device.
  • a torsion force is applied to the operating member whose rigidity must be provided to prevent opening of the contacts at the level where the action takes place.
  • this rigidity must be sufficient to guarantee that, in the event of bonding of the contacts, no indication of opening of the contacts can appear at any location of the multipole apparatus, which would be absolutely contrary to the regulations in force.
  • Sectioning tests are in practice carried out on these devices to test these security conditions. Specifically, these tests, aimed at validating the kinematic behavior of the mechanism within the device during a disarmament, as well as the good mechanical strength of the component parts of the mechanism during and after disarmament, are precisely implemented by exerting an action at the level of the opposite pole to that for which the contacts are glued, which is the most unfavorable hypothesis, and therefore the most appropriate to test the overall rigidity manifest during the reaction of the product.
  • connection means On certain ranges of contactor, there are rigid connection means provided between the adjacent contact carriers, within a same contactor.
  • the contact carriers thus connected to each other form a rigid block.
  • These rigid connection means consist of an additional connecting piece adapted to be inserted between two adjacent contact holders.
  • this configuration also allows the construction of a single block having a good rigidity inside the housing, it nevertheless has several disadvantages, especially when mounting the device. Indeed, the fact of adding an extra room within the device can cause oversights, negatively impacting the quality of the device. In addition, the introduction of this additional piece is not easy because of the reduced space within the device, then inevitably increasing the manufacturing time.
  • these connecting means are adapted to contactors, but are not suitable for larger sectioning devices, the sectioning tests being inconclusive.
  • the objective of the present invention is therefore to find a solution for reinforcing the mechanism, so that all the devices of sectioning meet safety standards.
  • the solution must be simple, with easy implementation, and economically favorable.
  • the rigid connection means consist of at least one rigid male part belonging to a first contact carrier cooperating with no degree of freedom with at least one female part belonging to a contact carrier adjacent to the first contact carrier, each male portion being divisible.
  • the rigid connection means accommodating the stresses appearing between the biased handle and the glued contacts.
  • said male part consists of a tongue adapted to fit into a slot constituting the female part of said connecting means. These are located at the side walls of each contact carrier.
  • said tabs must of course be rigid, and adjusted in slots of corresponding volume.
  • the contact holders can thus be easily nested within each other and aligned inside the device, according to the alignment of the modules.
  • the tab on the last contact holder of the device is systematically detached so that the tab of the last module does not protrude from the product.
  • the breakable tongue extends a lug extending orthogonally from the side wall of the contact carrier, the lower surface of said lug being able to make a mechanical connection between the switchgear and an adjacent device of the auxiliary control type. placed on the same row.
  • a link of this type between devices is commonly used to transmit information on the position of the contact carriers, and where appropriate on the position of the actuator of a first device to a second device.
  • the tongue is L-shaped, for example, and has two breakable zones to detach it from the contact carrier, the first zone being connected to the lug, and the second zone being fixed directly to the side wall of the carrier. contact.
  • connection means according to the invention can also be integrated in a mechanism in translation, that is to say with the contact carriers moving in a linear manner, in a rotating mechanism, the aligned contact carriers being pivotable together relative to an axis, as the pivoting movement of the single actuator for example.
  • the figure 1 represents a tetramodular apparatus (1).
  • the control levers (4) of the four modules (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) are connected by a single operating member (3). This is a switch / disconnector at the head of the electrical installation.
  • a module (2) inside a module (2) consists mainly of a contact carrier (5) adapted to move movable contacts (6) to or away from fixed contacts (7).
  • This contact carrier (5) is movable by the action of the control lever (4) via a mechanism with rod drive (8).
  • a return spring (9) allows the contact carrier (5) to return to its initial position. The contact carrier (5) thus performs translational movements within the module (2).
  • a tetramodular apparatus (1) comprising four contiguous modules, as presented in figure 1 there are four contact holders (5). Each of them is solicited by action on the control levers (4) via the general operating member (3). In fact, in other words, a manual action on the operating member (3) causes the displacement of all the contact holders (5).
  • the rigid connection means better visible in figure 4 consists of a tab (10) protruding from one lateral side (14) of each contact carrier (5) and adapted to fit snugly into a slot (11) on the other side (15) of each contact carrier (5).
  • Contact holders (5) are thus easily nestable into each other, and removably.
  • the material of the tongues (10) being the same as that of the movable contact supports, it is therefore rigid and able to achieve the rigid connection.
  • the tongue (10a) of the contact carrier (5a) is inserted in the slot (11b) of the contact carrier (5b), the tongue (10b) of the contact carrier (5b) is inserted into the slot ( 11c) of the contact carrier (5d), and the tongue (10c) of the contact carrier (5c) is inserted into the slot (11d) of the contact carrier (5d).
  • the tab (10d) of the contact carrier (5d) is therefore not necessary in a four-pole device configuration (1). On the contrary, such a protrusion at the end of row annoys since it protrudes from the molded casing of the last module. This is why this tongue (10d) is intended to be scored.
  • the figure 5 presents the breakable zones (12, 13) of a tongue (10) in a possible configuration.
  • the first breakable zone (12) is located on the junction zone between the tongue (10) and the lateral side (14) of the contact carrier (5), while the second breakable zone (13) is located on the zone of contact junction between the tongue (10) and a lug (15) projecting from the lateral side (14).
  • the tongue (10) has an L shape and encloses the lug (15).
  • the lug (15) protrudes from the last contact holder (5) of the row once the tongue (10) detached, as shown in FIG. figure 6 .
  • a cutout provided for this purpose in the housing of the device (1) allows it to exceed so as to cooperate with the next device on the row in the electrical panel.
  • the lower surface (16) of the lug (15) is able to make a connection with an adjacent device of the auxiliary control type.
  • the invention has been described by means of a particular example of configuration, especially as regards the rigid connection means between the contact carriers within the apparatus, which are however not in any way limiting.
  • the invention encompasses all variants of shape and configuration that are within the reach of those skilled in the art.
