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 electric 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.
  • the force of the connecting rod is distributed on the plate and on the hook. So we get less stress on the bar. Thus, the tripping efforts are further reduced.
  • the present invention also relates to an electrical protection apparatus comprising a control device comprising the previously mentioned features taken alone or in combination.
  • this apparatus is a low-voltage circuit breaker.
  • a miniature electric circuit breaker 1 molded insulating housing comprising a control device 2 according to the invention.
  • This device comprises a support device 3 of the movable contact 4, said mobile contact 4 cooperating with a fixed contact 5.
  • An opening 7 is provided in the front face 8 of the housing for the passage of a lever 6 mounted pivotally limited on an axis 11 of the housing between a closed position in which the contacts 4,5 are closed, and a position of opening corresponding to the separation of contacts 4,5.
  • the lever 6 is equipped with an internal base 9 coupled to a transmission rod 10 to form a toggle device whose articulation 12 is eccentric with respect to the fixed axis 11 of the lever 6.
  • the lever 6 is biased in the trigonometric direction towards the position of opening of the contacts by a return spring (not shown).
  • the fixed contact 5 is secured to the casing of the electromagnetic trip unit.
  • the movable contact 4 is fixed to the support device 3 of the movable contact 4, said support 3 being articulated on a pivot 40, the rotating plate 15 being rotatably mounted around the pivot 14.
  • a triggering lever 16 controlled by the striker of the electromagnetic release, the bimetallic strip of the thermal release (not shown) or an external auxiliary, is pivotally mounted on an axis 17 carried by the plate 15 with a predetermined offset relative to the aforementioned pivot 14 .
  • the control device 2 is in a position of the open contacts, the lever 6 being in the open position. In this position, the transmission rod 10 exerts no effort on the plate.
  • the lever 6 is actuated to close the contacts, the latter moves the rod 10 which bears on the plate 15 via the insert 30, and on the hook 19.
  • the hook 19 is locked on the trigger bar (or lever) 16. ( fig.7 ).
  • the rod 10 bears on the plate 15 and on the hook 19, pivots the plate 15 about its axis 20 until the contacts 4,5 close. The rod continues its race until the dead center of the toggle formed by the lever 6 and the link 10 is crossed.
  • the mechanism takes the equilibrium position which keeps the contacts closed.
  • the position shown in FIG. figure 8 The position shown in FIG. figure 8 .
  • the rod 10 exerts a force F distributed according to a force F1 exerted on the insert 30 and a force F2 exerted on the release lever 16.
  • the handle 6 is actuated until it crosses the dead center of the toggle in the opposite direction.
  • the mechanism then joins the equilibrium position, the contacts being open, when the handle reaches the end of its stroke, the position represented on the figures 1 and 7 .
  • the hook 19 is unlocked, but the lever 6 does not return immediately to its open position.
  • the balance of forces exerted by the rod 10 on the mechanism is broken.
  • the plate 15 rotates about its axis 14 and opens the contacts, the position shown on the figure 9 .
  • the opening 25 ( fig.1 ) provided inside the hook 19, allows the rotation of the hook about the axis 20,32 and this opening 25 of the hook and the openings 26 of the plate 15, allow the rotation of the plate, the lever being still held in closed contact position.
  • the spring of the joystick brings it in open contacts position and the rod returns the hook in the initial position.
  • the biasing spring 27 of the hook and resetting of the bar places them in a position to lock the hook on the bar when the handle is actuated to close the contacts.
  • the openings 26 provided in the plate 15 participate in guiding the link 10 so as to bring it back into the support position on the plate.
  • the rod 10 bears on the contact holder plate 15 according to F1 through the insert 30, and on the locking hook 19 according to F2, the relative positions of the two bearing surfaces and the ratio of the arms Leverage is optimized so that the force that locks the hook is reduced to a minimum.
  • the system comprises two stages of reduction. According to the first, the force of the mechanism is taken up largely on the plate and in a smaller part on the hook. According to the second, by a set of lever arms on the hook, the force is multiplied on the trigger lever.
  • the invention therefore advantageously applies to such devices in which the force of the link is exerted both on the plate and on the hook, but not exclusively. Indeed, the invention also applies advantageously to devices in which the force of the link applies only to the plate for example, with the result of reducing the triggering forces.
  • the invention solves the problem of lack of tripping circuit breakers through a set comprising an axis needle and a V-shaped sheet easy to make and assemble, this set to obtain a reduction 50% of the tripping efforts of a circuit breaker with a rating of up to 120A. It should also be noted that this reduction of the tripping forces also makes it possible to obtain an improvement in the thermal adjustment, because the efforts being less important, there is less difficulty in finding the right bimetal shade.
