  • the present invention also relates to low or medium voltage electrical protection equipment such as a switch or a circuit breaker comprising such a bulb.
  • Vacuum circuit breakers such as those described in the document, are known FR 2721434 comprising housed in a sealed enclosure filled with a dielectric gas, a so-called main circuit having two main contacts, and a so-called secondary circuit having two said so-called arc contacts connected in parallel with the main contacts.
  • This main circuit is intended to be traversed by the permanent current while the secondary circuit is intended to hold the short-circuit current before and during the opening of the contacts and the transient recovery voltage after the opening of the main contacts and the transfer of current to the arcing contacts.
  • vacuum interrupters are also known as described in the documents WO 2006074975 , EP 2182536 in which only the breaking of the nominal current is carried out inside the vacuum interrupter.
  • the contact pressure is usually provided by the pressure difference between the outside and the inside of the vacuum bulb.
  • vibrations can be transmitted inside the bulb and generate micro loss of contact, in the absence of other devices than the local atmospheric pressure to maintain the contacts end to end.
  • JP S43 12016 describing a vacuum interrupter having the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the present invention solves this problem and proposes a vacuum interrupter and an electrical protection device having it having an improved contact pressure without increasing the size of the bulb.
  • the subject of the present invention is a vacuum interrupter according to claim 1.
  • the aforementioned guiding device is fixed to the so-called second bottom wall of the bulb.
  • the aforementioned spring is supported by one of its ends, on the aforementioned guide device and at its opposite end, on the moving arc contact.
  • this bulb further comprises a sealing bellows mounted around the rod and intended to seal between the inner portion of the bulb and the outside of the bulb, and the aforesaid spring is mounted within the aforementioned bellows.
  • said bellows is fixed sealingly, by one of its ends said first, on said second said bottom, and its opposite end, said second, to the aforementioned rod.
  • this bellows is fixed by its so-called second end to a bellows support, which is fixedly mounted around the rod.
  • the aforementioned guiding device is fixed to said second said bottom wall by means of a dome-shaped fastening element, said dome having an orifice through which it is mounted around the stem and being fixed by its base on the so-called second bottom wall of the bulb, this cupola being intended to receive the annular portion of the guiding device, this guiding device being fixed to the so-called second bottom wall, by crimping this annular portion and dome.
  • the above-mentioned guiding device and the aforementioned fastening element form an integral part of a pre-existing part belonging to the bulb, which piece thus ensures the functions of guiding the rod, and of maintaining and positioning of the aforementioned compression spring inside the bulb.
  • the present invention also relates to a low or medium voltage electrical protection apparatus comprising a vacuum interrupter having the above-mentioned characteristics taken alone or in combination.
  • this apparatus is a switch or a circuit breaker.
  • a vacuum bulb A for use in low or medium voltage electrical protection equipment such as a circuit breaker or an electrical switch.
  • This bulb is generally disposed in a branch circuit connected in parallel with a circuit said main comprising the main contacts of the aforementioned apparatus.
  • these arc contacts are intended to hold the short-circuit current, while when this bulb is integrated in a switch, it is intended to ensure the power cut.
  • this bulb A comprises a vacuum elongated cartridge comprising a cylindrical envelope 1 closed by two funds 2,3.
  • the two aforementioned arc contacts 4,5 comprise a first arcing contact 4, said fixed, integral with one of the two funds, while the other arcing contact 5, said moving contact, is mounted in end of a rod 6, which rod 6 is slidably mounted through the other 3, said second, of the two funds, through a guide member 7 fixed relative to said second bottom 3 and passing through an opening 8 provided in said bottom 3.
  • This so-called mobile arc contact 5 is thus able to be displaced by means of said control rod 6 between a so-called open position remote from the fixed arc contact 4 and a so-called closed position in which these two contacts are brought together and in contact in order to allow the passage of the current.
  • Such a bulb also comprises a so-called sealing bellows 9 intended to ensure the seal between the inner part of the bulb and the part outside of the bulb while moving the stem.
  • This bellows 9 is mounted around the rod and is supported by one 9a of its ends 9a, 9b, on the bottom 3 said second of the casing 1 and, by its opposite end 9b, on a portion 5a of the rod 6 located at the rear of the moving arc contact 5 via a support member 10 of the bellows 9, this support being fixedly mounted around the rod and on which is fixed this end 9b of the bellows.
  • This support is supported on the rear face 5a of the movable arc contact 5.
  • This support element 10 of the bellows is shown separately on the figure 6 and has a cylindrical portion 10a partly closed by a bottom portion 10b having an opening 10c adapted to allow the passage of the rod 6, and whose free edge is extended by a portion 10d extending substantially parallel to the wall of the bottom 10b and forming a bearing surface and fixing for the end 9b of the bellows.
  • This bulb also comprises a spring 11, said contact pressure spring, adapted to ensure a certain contact pressure between the stationary and movable arcing contacts in the closed position of the contacts.
  • This spring 11 is supported by one 11a of its ends, on the aforementioned rear face 5a of the movable arcing contact 5, via the aforementioned bellows support member 10 on which it rests, and by its opposite end 11b, on the free end 7a of said guide element 7, this element being shown separately on the figure 4 .
  • This guide element 7 comprises a cylindrical portion 7b, one of the free edges 7a cooperates with the spring 11, while the other free edge 7c is extended by an annular portion 7d extending in a plane extending substantially perpendicularly. to the axis of the rod 6.
  • This annular portion 7d is intended to bear on the outer face 3a of the bottom wall 3, said second of the bulb, by means of a fixing support 12, in cupola shape having an orifice 12a, this support being shown separately on the Figures 7 and 8 , which support is intended to allow the fixing of the guide member 7 on said bottom wall 3 by crimping, as will be explained in the following.
  • the cupola support 12 is mounted around the outer free end of the rod 6 and fixed to the so-called second bottom wall 3 by brazing.
  • the contact pressure spring, or compression spring 11 is also mounted around the rod 6, and brought to bear, by one of its free ends, on the bellows support 10.
  • the guide element 7 of the spring 11 is in turn mounted around the rod 6 to come into contact with the spring, as illustrated on the figure 10 .
  • the annular portion 7d is housed inside the dome 12.
  • this guide element 7 is fixed by crimping, as illustrated in FIG. figure 11 , so as to bring the material belonging to the dome 12 on the guide member 7 and thus immobilize the latter relative to the so-called second bottom wall 3 of the bulb A.
  • the bulb A thus obtained is as shown on the figures 2 and 3 with the bulb in the closed position on the figure 2 , and in the open position on the figure 3 .
  • one of the surfaces on which the spring 11 is based is constituted by the free end 7a of the guide element 7, which surface has a fixed position relative to the bulb A, while the other
  • the bearing surface of the spring 11 is constituted by a face 5a of the movable arc contact 5, this surface being mobile.
  • a compression spring is inserted into the housing of the bellows and held in place and in position by the guide device of the movable contact.
  • the guiding device and its attachment support on the envelope of the bulb are an integral part of a pre-existing part of the bulb, which part is fixed relative to the envelope of the bulb, so that this part performs the functions of guiding the rod supporting the movable contact, and maintaining and positioning the compression spring in the bulb.
  • This embodiment makes it possible to obtain a reduction in the number of parts and thus a reduction in the manufacturing cost of this bulb.
  • the invention therefore makes it possible to remain in the bulk of the vacuum interrupter while having an improved contact pressure.
  • the invention applies advantageously but not exclusively to a vacuum interrupter intended to be integrated in a switch, but could also be used in a circuit breaker in addition to another contact pressure device.
