Definitions

  • the two switches are each double-contact and the mechanism for actuating them comprises a flap which is intended to tilt and then carry with it, in its movement, the movable contact-holders of the switches.
  • Each movable contact carrier is biased by a leaf spring towards one of its two open and closed positions.
  • a fork is further coupled to a crank of the flap, so as to tilt it. It equips one of the two arms of a rocker whose pivot axis is orthogonal to the tilting axis of the flap and movable contact holders.
  • the transcription device mentioned in the previous paragraph is complex. Its complexity is at least partly explained by the need to satisfy various requirements, such as requirements resulting from interactions with external devices arranged according to a given spatial organization and such as constraints resulting from the reception of the transcription device in a reduced space with pre-established dimensions. In this respect, the choice of double-contact switches is a result of the need for a small footprint.
  • the object of the invention is at least to enable a transcription device of the aforementioned type to be simplified while still being able to satisfy one or more specific spatial constraints.
  • this object is achieved by means of a transcription device of the aforementioned type, the mechanism of which comprises a lever including a first lateral arm swinging about a pivot axis of this lever and a second lateral arm swinging around the same pivot axis are respectively disposed on opposite first and second sides with respect to said pivot axis.
  • the first side arm is an operating arm of the first switch, which is on the first side with respect to said pivot axis.
  • the second side arm is an operating arm of the second switch, which is on the second side, opposite the first side, with respect to said pivot axis.
  • the transcription device according to the invention may incorporate one or more other advantageous characteristics, alone or in combination, in particular from those defined hereinafter.
  • the first lateral arm is an operating arm of the maneuverable support of the first switch
  • the second lateral arm is an operating arm of the maneuverable support of the second switch.
  • the maneuverable support carrying the movable contact is a conduct of electrical connection of this movable contact to an electrical circuit.
  • the first switch at least comprises an elastic member for returning its movable contact in one of the open and closed positions of the movable contact.
  • the first lateral arm is a thrust arm against the resilient return member on the operable support of the first switch.
  • the elastic return member exerts an elastic return in the direction of closing the first switch.
  • the first lateral arm is tilting from an active position for retaining the first switch in the open state against the elastic return member, towards an intermediate position for closing the first switch, to a passive position which is beyond the intermediate position in the direction of the elastic return and wherein the elastic return produces a calibrated closing force of the first switch, without interference of the first side arm.
  • the maneuverable support carrying the movable contact forms the resilient return member of the movable contact.
  • the maneuverable support carrying the movable contact comprises an elongate finger whose one end is fixed, which is at least locally elastically flexible between the open and closed positions of the movable contact of the first switch and which carries this contact. mobile remote from the fixed end.
  • the elongated finger has the shape of a blade on one side of which is the corresponding movable contact.
  • the blade has an elastically flexible elbow that extends a fixed mounting base, being at the fixed end of the finger.
  • the lever comprises a shaft which extends along said pivot axis and which carries the first and second lateral arms.
  • the transcription device comprises a crank with a crank arm pivoting about said pivot axis is rigidly associated with the lever shaft and carries a crankpin for receiving the input control, at a distance from this pivot axis.
  • a protection device 1 which is intended to be connected at the level of a power supply of an electric motor, to protect this motor, and which comprises a circuit breaker, a thermal relay and a contactor, a known manner in itself.
  • a housing 2 of the protective device 1 can be mounted and connected a signaling auxiliary 3.
  • This signaling auxiliary 3 has the role of expressing two different information on the protection device 1, such as the available state or not of the contactor of this protection device 1 and the triggering or not of the electrical protection.
  • the signaling auxiliary 3 comprises an electromechanical transcription device 4, which is mounted in a housing 5 to be enclosed by means of a cover not shown for the sake of clarity.
  • the device 4 is according to a first embodiment of the invention. More precisely, it has the function of transcribing a mechanical position into an electrical state and has two switches 6A and 6B intended to be actuated by the same single lever 7, which pivots on an axis X-X '.
  • a first pair of terminals 8A and 9A is provided for connecting the switch 6A in a first electrical circuit 10A, which is shown schematically in FIG. figure 5 and whose function is to transmit one of the two previously mentioned information.
  • a second pair of terminals 8B and 9B is provided for connecting the switch 6B in a second electrical circuit 10B, which is also schematically shown in FIG. figure 5 and whose function is to transmit the other information relating to the state of the circuit breaker 1.
  • the terminals 8A, 9A, 8B and 9B are aligned in the same row, along a rear face of the housing 5.
  • the switch 6A has two paired contacts intended to make an electrical connection by touching, namely a fixed contact 11 A and a contact 12A movable at least between two positions, which are an open position of separation and disconnection of the fixed contact 11 A and a closed position of contact and connection with this fixed contact.
  • the free end of a fixed arm 13A defines the fixed contact 11 A.
  • This fixed arm 13A is part of a conductive element 14A which electrically connects the fixed contact 11A to the terminal 8A.
  • a finger 15 forms a manoeuvrable support carrying the movable contact 12A, this finger 15 and a conductive mounting member 16A electrically connect to the terminal 9A.
  • the finger 15 has the shape of a blade which has an elastically flexible bend 17 and which extends beyond this bend 17, by a mounting base 18. At a fixed end of the maneuverable finger 15, this base 18 is fixed by riveting to the mounting member 16A.
  • the movable contact 12A is located on one face of the finger 15, at a distance from the elastically flexible bend 17 and at the level of a movable end of the finger 15. The bend 17 tends to return the finger 15 to the fixed arm 13A, in a closed position of the switch 6A.
  • the switch 6B has the same constitution as the switch 6A, by being substantially symmetrical with respect to a plane passing through the axis of X-X 'pivoting. Its fixed contact 11B and its movable contact 12B are electrically connected respectively to the terminal 8B and the terminal 9B.
  • the support of the movable contact 12B is another maneuverable finger 15.
  • the piece forming the finger 15 of the switch 6A and that forming the finger 15 of the switch 6B are identical and mounted in the same manner.
  • the lever 7 is a single piece, which is shown alone in the figure 4 .
  • the lever 7 comprises a shaft 20, which extends along the pivot axis XX 'and each of the two ends is retained in a sliding bearing housing 5 so as to pivot.
  • the shaft 20 is provided with a crank 21 through which it is intended to be operated according to an input control received by the crankpin 22 of this crank 21.
  • the shaft 20 carries and rigidly associates two tilting lateral arms, which extend opposite each other in two opposite directions, and which are a maneuvering arm 23A of the switch 6A and an arm 23B of operation of the switch 6B.
  • the crank 21 is in a neutral position, meaningless, when the signaling auxiliary 3 is not in operation.
  • the fixed contact 11 A and the movable contact 12A are separated from each other by a distance D 1 . It is substantially the same fixed contacts 11 B and 12B mobile.
  • the distance D 1 is less than the minimum isolation distance that must be respected to avoid the occurrence of an arc when the circuits 10A and 10B are energized.
  • the crank 21 has been tilted to a first position in which it is maintained due to an input control in the form of a constant action C 1 on its crank pin 22.
  • the tilting of this crank 21 has led to a tilting of arms Maneuver 23A and 23B in the same direction about the axis X-X '.
  • the operating arm 23A has left the switch 6A to close by itself, under the effect of the elastic return produced by the blade defining the elbow 17 and the finger 15 of this switch 6A.
  • the operating arm 23B has pushed the finger 15 of the other switch 6B, in the opposite direction to the fixed contact 11 B, against the elastic return produced by the blade defining the elbow 17 and the finger 15 of this switch 6B.
  • the operating arm 23B exerts a thrust P 1 on the finger 15 of the switch 6B.
  • the fixed contact 11 B and the movable contact 12B are separated from each other by a distance D 2 , greater than the distance D 1 and at least equal to the minimum isolation distance that must be respected to avoid the occurrence of an arc when the circuit 10B is energized.
  • the definition of this minimum isolation distance is the subject of EN / IEC 60947-6-2, EN / IEC 60947-5-1, EN / IEC 60068-2-6, EN / IEC 60721-4-2 , EN / IEC 60947-5-4 and UL 508.
  • the crank 21 has been tilted to a second position in which it is held due to an input control under the form a C 2 constant action on the crank pin 22.
  • the actuating arm 23A holds the thrust P 1 on the finger 15 of the switch 6A.
  • the fixed contact 11A and the movable contact 12A are separated from each other by the distance D 2 , that is to say by a distance greater than or equal to the aforementioned minimum isolation distance.
  • the switch 6A is thus open, the switch 6B is closed.
  • the operating arm 23B is away from the corresponding finger 15.
  • the elastic return produced by the blade defining the bend 17 and the finger 15 of the switch 6B then exerts a calibrated clamping force of the movable contact 12B on the fixed contact 11B.
  • the current flowing in the closed circuit 10B is symbolized by the arrows I. It can flow in the direction indicated by these arrows I or in the opposite direction.
  • a transcription device 104 according to a second embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. figure 8 .
  • a reference used hereafter to designate a part of the device 104 similar or equivalent to a referenced part of the device 4 is constructed in increasing by one hundred the reference identifying this part on the device 4.
  • the switch 106B is generally returned so that closing is effected by a displacement in the opposite direction of movement leading to the closing of the switch 6B.
  • the elastically flexible elbow 117 of the switch 106B and the elastically flexible elbow 17 of the switch 6B exert resilient reminders in opposite directions.
  • the operating arm 123B of the lever 107 is oriented to exert a thrust P 2 in the reverse direction of the thrust P 1 .
  • This operating arm 123B is further axially offset towards the fixed and movable contacts, relative to the actuating arm 123A.
  • the two switches 106A and 106B are kept closed by the elastic boosts produced within each of them by the blades forming the bends 117 and the fingers 115, while the actuating arms 123A and 123B are inactive.
  • the isolation distances such as the distance D 2 , as well as several forces related to the operations of the switches, can be easily determined by an appropriate choice of the positions of the operating arms 23A, 23B, 123A and 123B along the axis X-X ', which is advantageous.
