Description
La présente invention concerne un système d'actionnement d'une ampoule à vide dans le but d'ouvrir un circuit électrique dans un appareil de connexion électrique de moyenne tension ou haute tension, c'est-à-dire un appareil opérant à une tension supérieure à 1000V.The present invention relates to a system for actuating a vacuum interrupter for the purpose of opening an electrical circuit in a medium voltage or high voltage electrical connection apparatus, that is to say an apparatus operating at a voltage greater than 1000V.
L'invention concerne également un appareil de connexion électrique comportant un tel système d'actionnement pour au moins une de ses phases. Dans le présent document, le terme appareil de connexion électrique regroupe indifféremment plusieurs types d'appareils électriques comme un interrupteur, un disjoncteur, un contacteur, un interrupteur fusible, un recloser, etc.The invention also relates to an electrical connection device comprising such an actuation system for at least one of its phases.

Un appareil de connexion électrique moyenne tension ou haute tension du type de celui décrit dans le document
Grâce à cette architecture, l'ampoule à vide reçoit un courant uniquement durant la phase d'ouverture du circuit principal de phase, et pas en fonctionnement normal. De plus, l'ampoule n'est pas sollicitée durant une opération de fermeture du circuit principal et elle n'a pas à supporter non plus un éventuel courant de court-circuit. Elle doit juste être capable de supporter une tension transitoire de rétablissement (Transient Recovery Voltage ― TRV) après la coupure du courant dans le circuit principal.Thanks to this architecture, the vacuum interrupter receives a current only during the opening phase of the main phase circuit, and not during normal operation. In addition, the bulb is not stressed during a closing operation of the main circuit and it does not have to withstand any short-circuit current either. It just needs to be able to withstand a Transient Recovery Voltage (TRV) after the power is cut in the main circuit.
Il en résulte que l'ampoule à vide peut avantageusement être simplifiée et conçue d'une taille bien inférieure par rapport à une architecture classique dans laquelle l'ampoule à vide est placée dans le circuit principal de l'appareil de connexion électrique.As a result, the vacuum interrupter can advantageously be simplified and made of a much smaller size compared to a conventional architecture in which the vacuum interrupter is placed in the main circuit of the electrical connection apparatus.
Cependant, le mécanisme d'ouverture qui permet de basculer progressivement le courant du circuit principal vers la dérivation puis d'ouvrir ensuite l'ampoule à vide placée dans la dérivation doit être très précis et reproductible pour s'assurer d'une part que, pour chaque phase, l'ouverture de l'ampoule à vide est bien effectuée seulement une fois que l'interrupteur principal est déjà suffisamment ouvert pour ne pas risquer d'arc électrique sur l'interrupteur principal, et d'autre part que les ampoules à vide des différentes phases de l'appareil sont bien ouvertes simultanément.However, the opening mechanism which makes it possible to gradually switch the current from the main circuit to the bypass and then to open the vacuum interrupter placed in the bypass must be very precise and reproducible to ensure on the one hand that, for each phase, the opening of the vacuum interrupter is only carried out correctly once the main switch is already sufficiently open so as not to risk an electric arc on the main switch, and on the other hand that the bulbs vacuum of the different phases of the device are open simultaneously.

Pour effectuer le mouvement inverse de fermeture, c'est-à-dire passer de la position ouverte à la position fermée, l'électrode mobile 2 peut par exemple être entraînée par un ressort de rappel non représenté sur les figures.The
Le système d'actionnement selon l'invention comporte un dispositif d'entraînement comprenant une palette 25, mobile en rotation autour d'un axe transversal 26, et un anneau 20 qui est solidaire de la palette 25 par l'intermédiaire de deux bielles latérales 21. Durant une opération d'ouverture d'un interrupteur principal de phase de l'appareil de connexion électrique, ce dispositif d'entraînement se déplace sous l'action d'un mécanisme d'ouverture de l'interrupteur principal de phase (non représenté sur les figures) qui agit sur la palette 25. Les différentes figures montrent ainsi une flèche schématisant la poussée exercée par le mécanisme d'ouverture sur la palette 25 et sur les bielles 21 durant le mouvement d'ouverture de l'ampoule à vide 1.The actuation system according to the invention comprises a drive device comprising a
Dans le cas d'un appareil de connexion électrique multiphases (par exemple triphasé) ayant donc un interrupteur principal pour chacune des phases, l'appareil comporte préférentiellement une ampoule à vide en dérivation de chaque interrupteur principal et donc un système d'actionnement de l'ampoule à vide pour chaque phase. Le mécanisme d'ouverture agissant sur les systèmes d'actionnement d'un tel appareil peut cependant être commun pour tous les interrupteurs principaux de l'appareil.In the case of a multiphase electrical connection device (for example three-phase) therefore having a main switch for each of the phases, the device preferably comprises a vacuum interrupter bypassing each switch. main and therefore a vacuum interrupter actuation system for each phase.

Le goujon 116 comporte un filetage intérieur qui d'un côté coopère avec un filetage extérieur sur l'extrémité de l'électrode mobile 2 et qui de l'autre côté coopère avec la vis de fixation 117. Ainsi, quand la vis 117 est introduite dans la bague 115, elle vient se plaquer contre un rebord de la bague 115 et, une fois vissée au goujon 116, permet de maintenir l'ensemble composé de la bague 115, du goujon 116, du dispositif anti-torsion 118, de la rondelle 119 et de l'électrode mobile 2. La rondelle 119 est utilisée pour fixer un câble conducteur (non représenté sur les figures) permettant de raccorder électriquement l'électrode mobile 2 de l'ampoule à vide 1 à l'appareil de connexion électrique.The
Pour éviter tout risque de torsion de l'électrode mobile 2 et donc du soufflet d'étanchéité 4 de l'ampoule à vide 1 durant le mouvement d'ouverture et surtout durant le réglage de l'écrou 110, le dispositif anti-torsion 118 est par exemple une pièce fixe qui est coincée dans le support 5 de l'ampoule à vide 1 et qui comprend des cannelures longitudinales internes coopérant avec des cannelures externes correspondantes sur le goujon 116, de façon à ce que, durant les mouvements de l'électrode mobile 2, le goujon 116 puisse coulisser longitudinalement mais sans risque de rotation par rapport au support 5.To avoid any risk of torsion of the
Enfin, dans le deuxième mode de réalisation, le système d'actionnement comporte en outre un dispositif de blocage qui permet de figer la position de l'écrou de réglage 110 par rapport à l'électrode mobile 2, une fois le réglage effectué. Le dispositif de blocage comporte une bague de blocage 112 qui est amovible. Cette bague de blocage 112 est introduite dans deux avancées latérales 122 s'étendant de part et d'autre de l'anneau 20. Ces avancées comportent par exemple des moyens de clipsage qui permettent d'encliqueter facilement la bague de blocage 112 pour la maintenir en position de blocage une fois le réglage effectué, et qui permettent également de l'enlever très facilement lorsqu'un opérateur veut ajuster la position de l'écrou de réglage 110.Finally, in the second embodiment, the actuation system further comprises a locking device which makes it possible to fix the position of the
Une fois la bague de blocage 112 encliquetée, le blocage de l'écrou de réglage 110 est assuré par des encoches dans la bague de blocage 112 qui coopèrent avec des dents 113 de l'écrou de réglage 110 positionnées autour de sa périphérie extérieure pour empêcher la rotation de l'écrou 110. Le nombre de dents/encoches déterminent la finesse de l'angle de réglage possible de l'écrou de réglage 110 par rapport à l'électrode mobile 2.Once the
Pour pouvoir tourner plus facilement l'écrou de réglage 110 lors du réglage, celui-ci possède optionnellement à son extrémité une forme qui permet de le manipuler avec une clé ou un outil, telle qu'une forme hexagonale dans l'exemple de la
