Definitions

  • the piston has passage means permitting communication between the compartments controlled by a non-return valve allowing fluid flow only from the supply to the jack.
  • This latter valve is a ring concentric with the piston slidable on the exterior of a portion between the piston head and evacuation valve.
  • This invention relates to improvements to fast evacuation valves for hydraulic jacks and, inter alia, hydraulic jacks for the control of circuit breakers.
  • a valve according to the invention which will hereinafter be referred to as a fast evacuation device, is an automatic three-way valve adapted to provide selectively communication between a jack, or more generally any hydraulic load, and a pressure fluid source, or between such jack and a large-section evacuation pipe, with this second arrangement occurring automatically as soon as the pressure in the jack is greater than that in the feed pipe connecting the source to the jack.
  • a valve of this type therefore enables the jack evacuation to be controlled simply by decompression of the feed pipe (for example in the case of a single-acting jack adapted to make a circuit breaker against the action of elastic means adapted to break the circuit breaker) or alternatively when the pressure in the jack is higher than in the feed pipe (for example in the case of a doubleacting jack which provides for make and break of the circuit breaker upon its direction of operation).
  • valve of this type enables the liquid to be evacuated without passing it through the feed pipe, which is generally very long and of relatively small section, since this would have the disadvantage of braking evacuation, and the evacuated liquid flows through a pipe reserved solely for this purpose and which can therefore be both short and large.
  • the valve or valves In circuit breaker control systems, in which operations have to be very fast, particularly on break, it is very advantageous for the valve or valves to be disposed in the immediate vicinity of the jack that they control.
  • the present invention relates to certain improvements giving a simpler and hence cheaper construction than those of prior art valves, and inter alia because of the elimination of any internal precision machining or any male or female screwthreading of the movable closure elements of the valve. Also, these new features give a freer choice for the sections of the various passages whereby the hydraulic fluid flows through the valve. Finally, a new type of construction enables a single valve body to be fitted to different hydraulic circuits as a result of the specific shape of the valve body and the fact that 3,419,030. Patented Dec. 31, 1968 it is adapted to receive various types of connecting members for the hydraulic circuit.
  • a fast evacuation valve for a hydraulic jack comprises a chamber interposed in the jack feed conduit and subdivided, by a piston sliding in a bore in the valve body, into a first compartment connected to the pressure fluid inlet conduit and a second compartment connected to the jack; a large-section evacuation conduit communicating with the second compartment and with its orifice controlled by an instantaneously opening evacuation valve which is connected to the piston; and at least one passage formed in the piston so that the two compartments can communicate with one another, with the passage being controlled by a non-return valve which allows fiuid to flow only from the supply to the jack and which is in the form of a ring concentric with the piston and slidable on the outside of an intermediate cylindrical portion between the head of the piston and the evacuation valve.
  • the evacuation valve is formed by the free end of the piston rod, with the rod preferably being an integral part of the piston, as is therefore the evacuation valve; the ring which forms the non-return valve slides around the said piston rod.
  • the passage or passages formed in the piston for communication between the two compartments lead radially into the second compartment on the outer surface of the piston rod and the sliding ring controlling the opening of the passages has surfaces normal to the sliding axis, with such surfaces being subject to the pressure difference between the first and second compartments, the resultant forces controlling the opening and closure of the valve.
  • At least one of the valves, the evacuation valve or the non-return valve is permanently loaded into the closure position by a spring.
  • valve body is of parallelepipedic external shape, preferably of square section, and connection members are secured in sealing-tight relationship to one or more of the flat surfaces of the valve body to which the valve conduits lead, with such members enabling the valve to be connected to the various conduits of the hydraulic circuit for control.
  • connections may be made according to the most favorable orientation with a standard valve body and a small number of different connection members.
  • FIGURE 1 is an axial section of one embodiment of a fast evacuation device according to the invention.
  • FIGURE 2 is a view partly in elevation and partly in section showing an example of the use of such a fast evacuation device in a hydraulic control circuit for a circuit breaker.
  • FIGURE 3 is an axial section of another embodiment of the invention.
  • FIGURE 4 is a perspective view showing the arrangement of hydraulic connections according to a variant of the invention.
  • FIGURE 5 is a view partly in elevation and partly in section of a fast evacuation device according to the invention in combination with a hydraulic jack.
  • FIGURES 6 and 7 are views partly in elevation and partly in section of two variants of hydraulic control jacks for a circuit breaker, with which a fast evacuation device according to the invention may be combined.
  • a fast evacuation device valve body "2 is formed with a bore 4 which provides a chamber between a pressure oil inlet pipe 6 and a feed pipe 8 to a hydraulic jack 10.
  • the chamber is subdivided 'by a piston 12, which slides in the bore 4, into a first compartment 14 connected to the pressure fluid inlet pipe and a second compartment 16 connected to the jack 10.
  • An evacuation pipe 18 communicates with the compartment 16 and its orifice or seat 20 is controlled by an evacuation valve 22 of the instantaneous opening type, which is connected to the piston 12 and which in the example illustrated forms an integral part thereof.
  • a plurality of passages 24 are formed in the head of piston 12 so that the two compartments 14 and 16 can communicate and these passages are controlled by a nonreturn valve which allows oil to flow only from compartment 14 to compartment 16.
  • the non-return valve is in the form of a ring 26 which is concentric with the piston and which slides on the outside of an intermediate cylindrical portion, or piston rod 28, between the piston 12 and the valve 22.
  • the two valves 22 and 26 are respectively urged into the closure position by springs 30 and 32 respectively.
  • springs 30 and 32 are stronger than the spring 32.
  • FIG. 2 diagrammatically illustrates a hydraulic control system for a circuit breaker as described in my US. Patent No. 2,900,469.
  • piston 34 of the jack brings movable contact 38 of the circuit breaker into the make position against fixed contact 40 and holds it in this position against the action of break spring 42.
  • the fast evacuation device 2 has been shown as being directly secured to the jack 10.
  • control valve 44 When control valve 44 is brought into position 44', pressure oil from the accumulator acts on the top surface of the piston 12 and firmly applies the valve 22 to its seat to shut off the evacuation. Under the pressure effect the ring type valve 26 moves away from the apertures 24 against the spring 32 and oil flows into the chamber 16 and then via pipe '8 to the jack 10 in which it pushes the piston 34 back against the spring 42. The circuit breaker is thus in the make position.
  • feed pipe 46 expands and the higher pressure in the jack 10 applies the ring type valve 26 firmly against the passages 24 at the same time as the piston 12 is lifted against its spring 30.
  • the evacuation valve 22 therefore opens instantaneously and the oil contained in the jack 10 is rapidly evacuated via the large pipe 18 to a tank 48.
  • the circuit breaker can therefore break at high speed under the effect of its spring 42 without there being any braking as a result of the oil.
  • a fast evacuation device of this kind can be used in numerous hydraulic control circuits different from the one diagrammatically illustrated and, inter alia, control circuits of the type described in my US. Patent No. 2,900,960.
  • the new fast evacuation device according to the invention has numerous advantages over evacuation valves known heretofore, such advantages being due, more particularly, to the external arrangement of the non-return valve. None of the moving .parts of the valve has either a male or female screwthread and no precision female bore is required, so that the cost price is greatly reduced. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the only precision machining requirement is concentricity between the bore 4 (which guides the piston 12) and the evacuation orifice 20 (which acts as the valve seat) to give good closure of the frustoconical evacuation valve 22. However, it will be apparent from the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 that even this precise machining: can be avoided.
  • the arrangement of the non return valve outside the piston, or more particularly outside the piston rod enables the passages 24 to be given a total section much larger than in prior art evacuation valves in which, for a given evacuation aperture section, the section offered to the passage of the oil to feed the jack is sometimes inadequate.
  • the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 3 comprises all the main elements already described in connection with FIG. 1 (with the same reference numerals).
  • One of the variants comprises arranging the passage orifices 24' which form the communication between the compartments 14 and 16 to lead radially to the outer surface of the piston rod 28 instead of in parallel relationship to the axis as in FIG. 1.
  • the ring is formed with an inner shoulder 48' and is continued in the form of a skirt 50 which gives substantially sealing-tight sliding of the ring on the rod 28.
  • the ring type valve return spring 32 can bear against a collar 52 which is held by a resilient gasket 54 fitted in a groove in the rod 28.
  • the two springs 30 and 32 are thus independent.
  • evacuation valve 22 which is flat, i.e. the co-operating surfaces of the seat 20 and of the evacuation valve are perpendicular to the valve axis. These flat surfaces can be machined economically and yet with precision, and the sealing properties of the evacuation valve no longer depend on perfect concentricity of the bore 4 and the evacuation valve seat, so that the valve production is facilitated.
  • the evacuation pipe 18' for the valve which is connected to the axial conduit 18, discharges radially on the valve side, while the jack feed conduit or conduits 8 are formed in parallel relationship to the axis of the valve and lead into the compartment 16 whose diameter is larger than that of the bore 4.
  • This arrangement enables the fast evacuation device to be fitted directly at the end of the jack 10 which it is required to control, for example by means of a collar 56 held on the evacuation device body by a resilient gasket 58 and secured to the jack by screws 60.
  • a gasket 62 provides sealing-tightness between the fast evacuation device and the jack 10.
  • a calibrated jet may advantageously be combined with a fast evacuation device according to this invention.
  • a jet 64 can rest on a step 66 on the piston 12 and be held thereon by the piston return spring 30. This arrangement gives a very simple and economic system, enables the jet to be disposed immediately near the jack, thus minimizing any vibrations due to the compressibility of the liquid, and gives a pressure loss which tends to apply the valve 22' to its seat.
  • the fast evacuation device body 2 is given a parallelepipedic external shape of square section (FIG. 4) and connection members 64-66 are fitted to its ends opposite the feed and drain conduits.
  • connection members 64-66 are fitted to its ends opposite the feed and drain conduits.
  • the connection members are simply secured to the valve body by four screws 72 arranged in the form of a square and four 90 directions can be chosen for each connection member.
  • a gasket 74 is provided between the valve body and the connection members (FIG. 5).
  • valve conduit 8 or 8' can be connected to the jack via a connection member 74, the same as those mentioned hereinbefore, which is secured by means of four screws to the fiat side of the valve body (FIG. 4) and can be directed as required.
  • the evacuation device is generally fitted directly to the jack as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5.
  • the parallelepipedic body 2 of the fast evacuation device is secured by four screws 76 to a base 80 into which cylinder 82 of the jack is screwed.
  • a gasket 62 is provided between the evacuation device body and the base.
  • Jack piston 84 shown in this figure has a gasket 86 formed by a plurality of rings which are kept compressed by a spring.
  • a gasket of this kind has been described, inter alia, in my US. Patent No. 2,847,262 and US. continuation-in-part application No. 378,901.
  • the piston rod is guided at the top end of the cylinder 82 by a metal ring 88 provided with a ring gasket 90 which prevents any penetration of moisture and dust into the space between the calibrated piston rod and the cylinder 82.
  • This ring gasket also cleans the piston rod on each operation.
  • said space whose volume varies during the make or break operations (in the case in which the jack actuates the moving contact of a circuit breaker), must not be completely sealed and must be able to evacuate any oil leakages.
  • the wall of the cylinder 82 is formed with a respiration aperture 92 which is normally closed by a valve 94 loaded by a spring 96 so as to prevent any penetration of moisture, with the valve opening only in the event of an excess pressure in the said space.
