Definitions

  • the invention relates to a switch and/or circuit breaker incorporating various cut-off poles that can be connected in series to reduce the cut-off voltage.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a multiple-pole switch in which several poles are more effectively and more safely connected in series, preventing excessive overheating of the components and possible switch failures.
  • the invention essentially applies to switches for low voltage with selfcleaning blade contacts, although it can also apply to any other type of switch, such as for example cam switches.
  • Switches of any type or model are devices used to connect and disconnect a load from an electric power source. These switches are based on applying an external force which moves several moving contacts with respect to other fixed contacts, such that when the circuit is to be closed, the moving contacts come into contact with the fixed contacts, forming the connection between load and power source, and causing the corresponding installation to start operating.
  • the opposite process corresponds to the movement of the moving contacts with respect to the fixed contacts, such that these moving contacts move away from the fixed contacts, causing the circuit to open and therefore isolating the load from the power source, and as a result the installation stops.
  • a bridge or flat bar (1, 11, 12) is screwed to the respective fixed contacts belonging to two consecutive poles for connecting two poles in series, using to that end screws (10) passing through corresponding holes made in the contacts and flat bar.
  • the bridge installation operation requires a certain amount of time, whether at the factory or on site assembly, so there is extra cost involved in the installation.
  • British patent GB-22309001A describes an electrical distribution board equipped with disconnectors.
  • German Patent DE-10207539 refers to a switch for remote controls which has circuit board with conducting tracks, thrust part with contact parts for tracks, covering housing and elastic intermediate body between thrust element.
  • the Us Patent US-4090293 refers to a method for manufacturing an electrical component comprising a connection tag.
  • British patent GB-926705 refers to an isolating electric switch.
  • the invention relates to a low voltage switch and/or circuit breaker, i.e., to a switch which in addition to performing the opening (disconnection) and making the connection, also has isolating capacity, such that once the opening is performed, the fixed contact and the moving contact are at a sufficient distance for assuring the disconnection preventing the electric arc.
  • switch or switch device must be understood as a device with the function of a switch, or a device with the function of a switch and circuit breaker, or a circuit breaker device.
  • the switch object of the invention is characterised by being provided with a multiple terminal or contact, consisting of a single piece configured for making up two or more contacts having different poles of the switch.
  • the invention relates to an electric breaker switch having two or more poles, comprising first and second groups of fixed contacts, and a group of moving contacts able to move between an electrical cut-off position and an electrical closure position in which, for each pole, a moving contact electrically connects a fixed contact of the first group with a fixed contact of the second group.
  • the switch is characterised in that at least two fixed contacts of the same group of contacts are consist of or are part of an integral piece made of a suitable conductor material connecting the poles of the switch associated with said contacts in series.
  • Each pole of the switch is formed by a pair of fixed contacts and a moving contact connecting or disconnecting them.
  • Said integral piece is configured such that a first part determining a first fixed contact of one pole, a second part determining a second fixed contact, and a third part connecting with both fixed contacts is distinguished therein.
  • the invention also relates to a method of manufacturing an electric breaker switch device having two or more poles, which is characterised by assembling at least one multiple contact like the one described above in a same type of casing. Many configurations of the poles of switch are thus obtained in a simple and economical manner using one and the same type of casing or base, and one and the same type of multiple contact by simply placing this multiple contact in different positions of the casing.
  • FIG 3 shows an embodiment of a switch device according to the invention, in this case a four pole switch with two multiple contacts.
  • Each pole of the switch is formed by a fixed contact of a first group of fixed contacts (2, 3, 4 and 5), a second fixed contact of second group of fixed contacts (2', 3', 4', and 5'), and a moving contact (2", 3", 4", and 5") able to move between an electrical cut-off position in which it is not in contact with the fixed contacts (corresponding to the position depicted in Figure 2c ) and therefore making current circulation impossible, and an electrical closure position in which it electrically connects the two fixed contacts with which it is associated (corresponding to the position depicted in Figure 2a ).
  • the moving contacts (2", 3", 4", and 5") are assembled equidistant to one another in a shuttle or slider (9) made of insulating material such that the moving contacts move together and simultaneously.
  • the switch further comprises a casing (7) made of an electrically insulating material, inside which at least part of the fixed contacts, and the slider (9) with the moving contacts are housed, and such that the fixed contacts of the same pole are facing one another in pairs.
  • the slider (9) can move linearly inside the casing between two end positions defined by the internal shape of the casing itself and is assembled between the two mentioned groups of fixed contacts such that it moves transversally with respect to them.
  • the casing is formed by a lower base (7b) and an upper base (7 a) coupled to one another, and with an opening through which an external control (8) is attached to the slider (9) to operate it manually.
  • the slider can be moved, for example, by means of an automatic driving device.
  • the fixed contacts are assembled inside one of the parts of the casing, for example in the lower base (7b) by means of screws (13).
  • the moving contacts (2", 3", 4", and 5") are in turn blades, i.e., they are made up of two pairs of overlapping flat bars (6,6') forming a space between them, inside which they are coupled to each fixed contact, such that each moving contact contacts the corresponding fixed terminal from the top and the bottom, as especially seen in Figure 1c .
  • These moving contacts (2", 3", 4", and 5" are dual moving contacts because they are each made up of two pairs of connected flat bars (6,6'), where each pair is arranged to contact a fixed terminal of the same pole.
  • the switch incorporates a first integral piece (14) configured such that it determines at least two fixed contacts of a same group of contacts, specifically in view of Figure 3d , the first integral piece (14) has a first part (14a) determining a fixed contact (4) of a pole, a second part (14b) determining a second fixed contact (5) of another pole, and a third intermediate part (14c) connecting said first and second parts (a,b). Since the two fixed contacts (4, 5) are part of the same body or part, the poles associated with these terminals are connected in series, as seen in Figure 3d .
  • the switch of this preferred embodiment incorporates a second integral piece (15) identical to the first piece (14) but placed in the group of opposite fixed contacts, and forming the fixed contacts (2',3') corresponding to the other two poles of the switch, connecting them in series.
  • the integral pieces (14,15) are U-shaped, where each arm corresponds to each of the fixed terminals.
  • the integral piece (14,15) can be formed to determine more than two fixed contacts, in which case it adopts an E shape or comb shape.
  • the integral piece has a constant thickness throughout and is made of the same type of material as the rest of the conventional fixed contacts, preferably metal, and has the same thickness, whereby gaps in the section of the material or changes in electrical resistivity for current circulation is prevented.
  • the conventional fixed contacts (2,3,4',5') have the shape of a flat bar and part of the same protrudes outside the casing (7) to enable its electrical connection with the wiring of an external electrical installation in an already known manner, for example for closing or opening the current circulation between an electrical power source and a load.
  • the two integral pieces (14,15), which in this case are planar throughout, are completely housed inside the casing, which has the advantage that it cannot be touched by accident, i.e., there is no access to them and therefore the operator cannot have an electric or thermal accident.
  • the casing is designed for a specific configuration of number and position of pieces (14,15).
  • these integral pieces (14,15) are internal pieces, they can reach a temperature higher than a bridge or an external terminal, whereby the switch is designed to work within the temperature limits established in the corresponding product regulations. Furthermore, the invention has provided an air chamber (16) in the casing for receiving part of the pieces (14,15) which, together with the walls made of insulating material forming the casing (7), provide a safe heat-electric insulation within the parameters established by the regulations.
  • Figure 4 shows a four pole switch similar to that of Figure 3 , but in this embodiment, the integral pieces (14,15) are arranged in the same group of fixed contacts, so a configuration of switch different from that of Figure 3 is obtained in which the conventional fixed contacts were located on opposite sides of the casing, whereas in the switch of this Figure 4 the conventional fixed contacts are located on the same side of the casing.
  • the integral pieces (14,15) are formed such that they have a bent portion (17,18) respectively determining an angle with respect to the rest of the part, in this case in a substantially orthogonal shape with respect to the rest of the part.
  • the casing specifically the lower base of the casing (7b) also has an air chamber (16) for housing, precisely those bent portions (17,18), the integral pieces (14,15), such that the pieces (14,15) are housed entirely inside the casing.
  • that bend is formed in the intermediate part (c) of the integral pieces (14,15), and has the effect or advantage of reducing the space occupied by the pieces (14,15) resulting in a more compact switch.
  • Figure 5 The preferred embodiment alternative of Figure 5 consists of a four pole switch similar to that of Figure 4 , provided with two integral pieces (14,15) with bent portions (17,18), but located in groups of opposite fixed contacts and with the particularity that these bent portions (17,18) protrude outside the casing (7) so they are exposed.
  • the switch incorporates insulating covers (19,20) configured to enable it to be coupled to the casing (7) to cover the bent portions (17,18) respectively.
  • switches can be manufactured using an already existing casing or a universal casing that works for many switch configurations , i.e., with various positions, number and type of integral pieces, and subsequently coupling the covers as deemed necessary to cover the parts protruding from the integral parts.
  • Figure 6 is similar to that of Figure 5 , but in this case the integral pieces (14,15) are completely planar and protrudes out of the casing, such that the covers (19,20) are of suitable size and shape for enclosing the protruding portions of the pieces (14,15).
  • a universal casing can be provided for receiving several integral pieces (14,15) with bent portions (17,18), placed in different positions whether on a single side or on both sides of the device, as has been depicted in Figure 7 .
  • the casing is sized for receiving many integral pieces, on both sides of the slider, for which it has respective grooves (16,16'), one on each side of the casing for receiving the bent portions (17, 18) of the integral pieces.
  • the same casing can house one or several integral pieces in any position inside the casing or can even be used for applications of alternating current which do not incorporate integral pieces
  • FIG. 3 to 6 can be combined with one another resulting in switches with one or more multiple contacts, i.e., with two or more integral pieces having two or more poles, placed in one or the two groups of fixed contacts irrespectively, said parts being able to be internal or external planar parts or with a bent.
  • the invention is also applicable to switches of another type and with a greater or lesser number of poles.
  • one or more integral pieces are installed in positions selected for connecting several poles in series, obtaining the configurations for four poles such as for example the following:
