Definitions

  • the present invention also relates to an electrical protection apparatus comprising such a control device, and in particular a low-voltage circuit breaker.
  • the patent is known FR 2,589,627 of the aforementioned kind in which the transmission rod cooperates with the platen bearing on it.
  • the force of the mechanism is taken up two thirds on the plate and a third on the trigger bar. There is no multiplier effect.
  • the patent is also known FR 2,616,583 describing a control mechanism of a miniature electric circuit breaker having the features mentioned above.
  • the assembly comprising the transmission link, the hook, and the trip lever is a reduction stage allowing a reduction of the triggering force.
  • the force of the rod exerts a torque on the hook only. Since all the effort of the rod is concentrated on the hook, significant efforts are generated on the bar.
  • the patent is also known FR 2 914 485 in which the effort of the connecting rod is distributed on the plate and on the hook. So we get less stress on the bar. Thus, the triggering forces are reduced.
  • the force exerted by the rod is two to three times greater than that usually exercised in this type of device, which can be of the order of 100N. In this case, there is therefore an increased risk of matting the support zone of the rod on the plate, and significant friction coefficients during a trip.
  • the present invention solves these problems and proposes a device for controlling an electrical protection device, as well as an electrical protection device comprising it, making it possible to reduce the triggering forces and to eliminate the non-triggering phenomena due to a matting process.
  • the support zone of the plate by the transmission rod in the so-called locking position of the control device corresponding to a closed position of the contacts of the device.
  • the subject of the present invention is a control device of the kind mentioned above, this device being characterized in that it comprises a rigid insert mounted on the plate and intended to be interposed between the transmission link and a transmission zone.
  • the plate constituting a bearing zone of this link on the plate in the aforementioned locking position, and means for maintaining the position of said insert without play with respect to said plate. Thanks to these characteristics, there is no more matting of the support zone on the plate by the connecting rod, resulting in a reduction of the friction coefficients during a trip.
  • this rigid insert comprises a substantially V-shaped folded sheet, this sheet being intended to be fixed around an axis-forming portion of the rod, this portion of an axis-forming rod being intended to be fixedly mounted in the plate. and extending substantially perpendicularly to the plane of said V.
  • the aforementioned rod portion is mounted tightly in the plate.
  • the assembly of the aforementioned insert on the rod portion is performed by laser welding.
  • said insert is mounted in a recess formed in the plate, so that the plane in which said V extends is substantially parallel to the plane of a face of the plate located opposite the transmission rod .
  • the aforementioned holding means comprise a projection provided on one face of the above-mentioned recess and intended to bear against an outer face of one of the branches of said V, said boss being intended to serve as a reference angularly to the assembly comprising the rod portion and the insert, said boss being intended to cooperate with a projecting portion belonging to another face of the above-mentioned recess, opposite to the preceding one, this protruding portion being intended for come to bear against an inner face of this same branch of the aforementioned V, opposite to the aforementioned outer face, said boss being intended to serve as an angular reference to the assembly comprising the rod portion and the insert relative to the axis of the rod, and the above-mentioned projecting part cooperating with the above-mentioned boss so as to immobilize the insert in rotation with respect to the platinum around it of the axis of the aforementioned rod portion. Thanks to these characteristics, the insert is maintained and positioned in the plate without play, which prevents the matting of the insert
  • this projecting portion comprises a tip.
  • this insert is a metal insert.
  • the rod is the needle around which the aforementioned hook is rotatably mounted relative to the plate.
  • the aforementioned transmission rod is supported both on the hook and on the plate in the locking position of the hook.
